A planimetric map is a map that represents only the horizontal positions of features excluding depth and elevations. This particular map is a map of Tallahassee showing roads and bodies of water. The map gives you a basic 2D layout of the city giving the viewer a knowledge of the surroundings. This map would not help if the viewer needed to see things like mountains or changes in elevation, but does show road information and how to get around. This map is similar to the topographic map but different because topographic maps show vertical positions showing elevation and sea levels unlike the planimetric map.
