A planimetric map only shows a horizontal depiction, without reguard to elevation. This is also known as a line map.I chose this map of Fort McHenry because I explored the historic fort with my children recently. This map is very linear but does not give the audience a true feel for the area. The water is actually about 4 feet below the sea wall. The fort sits on a small hill, (being a Florida native it seemed more like a mountain) with cannons in the side of the hill and ammo stores underground.
