Planimetric Maps


Planimetric Maps are defined by using horizontal lines to accurately predict the distances between features. This type of map shows geographic objects, physical features, and structures such as roads, buildings, and water masses. Planimetric maps express detail in highways, sidewalks, railroads, bridges, etc.; however, it is hard to determine the level of elevation of objects. It can also be referred to as a line map.
