Planimetric Map


A planimetric map is a map that represents only the horizontal positions of features and not the vertical positions, like heights, the way in which a topographic map would show. This map is from the USGS website and it is a planimetric map of Iraq. It contains information on international boundaries, major cities, roads, railroads, airfields, seas, rivers, lakes, and oil refineries.
