Planimetric maps are maps made primarily of rectangles, they show no elevation like a topographic map. They can also be called "line" maps, because they only show structures as a flat map. Planimetric maps can be very useful in city planning and drawling up counties. The above Planimetric map is of the Gowanus Canal in New York City. Showing roads, commerical, and industrial episodes with not further features of the land.
