Planimetric Map

Planimetric maps show only the horizontal position of features on the Earth’s surface. The map shows geographic objects, natural and cultural physical features, and entities without topographic features such as roads, buildings, and bodies of water. A planimetrically accurate map showing planimetric detail and other general features shows accurate horizontal distances between features.

This is a map of part of Palm Beach County, Florida; this map features roads, highways, and general feature details as building footprints, piers, airport, drainage courses, holding basins, shorelines, and other watercourses.
