Planimetric Map

A Planimetric map is a simple 2 dimensional simple map that does not show any vertical positioning like a topographic map would. In other words, a planimetric map only shows x, y coordinates, not x,y,z. This map was taken from the eastern region United States Geological Survey website.

A Mental Map

A mental map draws up information from the memory of the map's creator. The map can show roads, physical things, and recall memories from the writer of the area. The mental map above provides key landmarks and recalls certain events in the creator's past that occurred. The map was circa 1940 thus not very current and is drawn directly from memory so scale and actual landmarks may not be accurate but can provide a fair amount of information nonetheless.
