Planimetric Map

http://ramkitten.squidoo.com/mapcompass
This map of Portland, Oregon is classified as planimetric because of its two dimensional shape. While this map type is good for showing roads, boundaries, water reservoirs or other simple recreational information, it does fail to show the contour of the land and seems to be only useful for small land areas.
