Planimetric Map

A planimetric map is a map that shows strictly a horizontal view of a landscape, topography is not included in these kinds of maps though elevation can be represented.  In this map for example, the lines on the edge of the gully depict a "steep slope".  This is a planimetric map of "Last Day Gully" in Wyoming.  Included in it is a scale, depicting an accurate scalar distance.
