Planimetric Map

A map indicating only the horizontal positions of features and not the vertical features, without regard to elevation, in contrast with a topographic map, which indicates both horizontal and vertical position. This is a detail of a planimetric map of China, by the Japanese Expeditionary Forces in Shanghai, showing a walled Chinese city and irrigation system in 1932.
