Planimetric Map

Planimetric maps are different from alot of maps because they completely ignore any vertical features of the land and solely apply horizontal features. They are very useful in that they do not depict geographical entities and become very useful in land surveying. The map below shows a hospital from the aerial view and could be very useful in that the buildings are very clearly defined in that topographic features are ignored.
