Planimetric Map

Planimetric Map: A map on any scale showing only the relationships of surface features(locations and distances) on a horizontal plane, with no indications of vertical relief.

This is a planimetric map showing the continent of Africa. It shows borders between countries and distances from different regions, but there is no indication of mountains or any other vertical aspect of the land.http://web.uflib.ufl.edu/maps/MAPAFRICA054L.JPG
