A planimetric map shows only the horizontal positions of features (not the vertical positions; for example- heights, as in a topographic map).

This map shows the Washington DC area. Grey areas represent infrastructure, pink areas represent residential and business buildings, and in the right hand side Forestry GIS added in the vegetation areas in green.
