Planimetric maps are maps that represent/portray the horizontal positions of features and places using lines and symbols, while vertical information is specifically ignored. They are surface maps with no relief features. An example of a planimetric map would be a street map, or even an organizational flowchart, mapping out the organizational levels of a large company.The above planimetric map gives a detailed layout of a portion of a neighborhood, illustrating the horizontal position of streets, buildings, and even shrubbery. This map use symbols and colors to illustrate features and their shapes, such as the double lines indicating roads, green squiggles which represent trees/bushes, etc... It also portrays underground features, i.e. storage tanks.
