A Planimetric Map displays general, natural, and man made features in a 2 dimensional view. Typically the features included are those pertinent to the information conveyed on the map itself. For instance, instead of displaying lakes, mountains, trees, valleys, etc- This planimetric map displays building areas, paved and unpaved areas, driveways, water features, and railroads which is conveying GIS services to businesses and residents near this developmental area. The difference between a planimetric map and a topographic map is that the former does not portray elevation of its elements.
