Planimetric Map


http://edc2.usgs.gov/pubslists/nimamaps/topo.php

This is a planimetric map that just shows the horizontal properties of something. In this specific case it has the country of Iraq. This is an easy way to show things such as cities, railroads, roads, and anything else that might get cluttered if there was a map showing elevation.
