A planimetric map shows only the horizontal position of features on the Earth's surface which show geographic objects, natural and cultural physical features whereas features like roads, buildings, and water bodies can be compiled into map features by surveying procedures. The planimetric map above is of Fort Vancouver, Washington from the United States Department of Commerce Coast and Geodetic Survey. This map is useful as a permanent record that provides a snap shot of what that area looked like before additional construction.
