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 ...

A topographic map is a type of map characterized by large scale details and quantitative representation of relief usually using contour lines ,but historically using many methods.
A map showing only horizontal positions of features on earths surface, which shows geographic objects, natural and cultural physical features and entitles without topographic features such as roads, building and water bodies are called planimetric maps.
