www.lib.utexas.edu/maps/texas/austin_1985.jpgThe above map features the city of Austin. The information contained the the map includes natural features such as rivers and wooded areas, but the main focus is on man-made features. Of most importance are roadways and distinguishing between rural and suburban regions. Also present are the names and locations of individual municipalities, roads, and rivers, as well as points of interest such as airports, theme parks and camp grounds. Notably missing is any elevation information. The surface is viewed as if there are no changes in elevation from one area to another. (i.e. plane = planimetric) Compare to Topographic map of the same region.
