map features
A map showing only the horizontal position of features on the Earth's surface which show geographic objects, natural and cultural physical features, and entities without topographic features such as roads, ...
Planimetric Map - A map which presents the horizontal positions only for the features represented; distinguished from a topographic map by the omission of relief in measurable form.
Planimetric Map A large-scale map with all features projected perpendicularly onto a horizontal datum place so that horizontal distances can be measured on the map with accuracy.
Planimetric Map: Horizontal depiction of map features on a two-dimensional plane without any reference to contours or topographic relief.
planimetric map
A planimetric map is a map that represents only the horizontal positions of features (and not the vertical positions, like heights, which a topographic map shows).

Planimetric Map
Perhaps the simplest of the common map styles, planimetric maps are similar in nature and scope to topographic maps but with all indications of terrain eliminated.

[cartography] A map that represents the vertical and horizontal positions of features, showing relief in some measurable form, such as contour lines, hypsometric tints, and relief shading.
The features usually shown on a planimetric map include rivers, lakes, and seas; mountains, valleys, and plains; forests, and prairies; cities, farms transportation routes, and public utility facilities; and political and private boundary lines.
A planimetric map shows locations and features on the surface that are at different heights above or below a reference (datum) plane. In their relative positions, they appear as though projected onto an X-Y (horizontal) coordinate system.
However, akin to the seemingly byzantine details in planimetric mapping, things aren't that simple.
A reference system used to measure horizontal and vertical distances on a planimetric map.

Coordinate System
The system used to measure horizontal and vertical distances on a planimetric map. A common coordinate system is used to spatially register geographic data for the same area.
Topographic map at any scale which includes contour lines. (Compare with Planimetric Map.)
Conventional Map
Map produced and manitained by traditional [manual] cartographic methods.
The identify tool and zoom buttons act exactly as they do in a normal planimetric map view. The new tools are:

If these maps are not available, Bureau of Land Management planimetric maps at 1:100,000 scale are used, followed by archival compilation materials. Depending on scale, the following layers may be available: ...
In its contemporary definition, topographic mapping shows relief. In the United States, USGS topographic maps show relief using contour lines. The USGS calls maps based on topographic surveys, but without contours, "planimetric maps." ...
