Planimetric Map


As an example of a Planimetric Map, I have used my home town as the focus. Newport Beach, California is a nice SoCal location, and at the southern end of the Balboa Peninsula is the infamous "Wedge" of surfing fame. (I'll bring this up again in a future map type!)

Planimetric maps are distinguished by being a "surface map" and most well recognized as street maps. The horizontal features are depicted and the vertical are not included in planimetric maps.
