Planimetric Map. A planimetric map presents only the horizontal positions for the features represented. It is distinguished from a topographic map by the omission of relief‚ normally represented by contour lines. Sometimes‚ it is called a line map. Topographic Map. A topographic map portrays terrain features in a measurable way‚ as well as the horizontal positions of the features represented. The vertical positions‚ or relief‚ are normally represented by contour lines on military topographic maps. On maps
