A Planimetric map, sometimes called a line map or street map, is a map that is used to show only the horizontal position for the location shown. Elevation and depth are not included on the map. Planimetric maps are used for special reasons and can be designed in different ways. Planimetric maps can show transportation routes, water bodies, valleys and mountains minus their elevation or depth. The Planimetric map shown above displays the outline of Buckthorn Drive. The road, homes, and trees are shown without elevation or height.
