http://www.ncdot.org/doh/preconstruct/highway/photo/Products/Planimetric_maps_default.html

"A map showing only the horizontal position of features on the Earth's surface which show geographic objects, natural and cultural physical features, and entities without topographic features such as roads, buildings, and water bodies that are visible and identifiable on aerial photographs, but which can be compiled into map features through photogrammetric or surveying procedures."  An above example is given; typical outlining for transportation projects.
