Planimetric Map

http://www.esri.com/mapmuseum/mapbook_gallery/volume20/wastewater1.html

A planimetric map consists of all positions of horizontal features without taking into account elevation. It can show things such as buildings and structures, roads, rivers, and the distances between them. This map of Jefferson county, Kentucky is what was used by the Louisville water company because it was the easiest and fastest way to see all the essential information such as buildings, roads, sidewalks, parking lots and railroads.
