This is an example of a planimetric map because it shows only horizontal positions, without displaying elevation. If this map were to show both vertical and horizontal positions, for example, it would be classified as a topographic map. There are also no relief features located here. This map is conveying a Chinese city surrounded by a wall and the irrigation systems in place. I thought this was an interesting map to choose because of the history involved in it. It was drawn up by the Japanese in 1932, most likely prior to conducting military operations within the area.

Mental Map
http://www.mindtools.com/pages/article/newISS_01.htm
This is an example of a mental map. It shows the steps necessary to overcoming time management. Stemming off from the main point of time management are helpful hints such as choices to make, importance of communication, monitoring and clarity. Each of those groups has their own sub categories to offer helpful advice. I chose this map because I too have a problem with efficient time management. This is an individual conveying their thoughts from memory onto a surface, drawling a map that will help them reach the goal of time management. Because this is an individual developing their perception of something from nothing more than their mind, it is classified as a mental map.
