Planimetric Map


This road map of Tallahassee, Florida is a form of planimetric mapping because there are no contours or relief features. The map is purely two dimensional to give the reader a picture image of the location of each major road in the city of Tallahassee. In using a road map such as this one the reader does not need to know information such as defaults in the surface or elevations of land. The knowledge that is needed is the location of the placement of streets in order to get from place to place as well as a scale in order to estimate time of travel.
Website map came from.
