This type of map can very greatly based on project phases and client requests/standards.  During the conceptual design phase we may just use an image (Google Earth Pro or USGS Quad) that will get labels for exisitng features and linework/labels for the proposed items.  For Design/Construction drawings a surveyor will supply us with a detailed planimetrics map along with topography and an image (Autocad format).

 

Planimetric maps by definition show all features except for terrain (topo).   Altough we normally show topo on the drawings when we are using vector based data. 

 

If you need data - conceptual stage data can be found on USGS websites (USGS Quads are a good basemap for conceptual stuff), state and local sites, Google Earth, more.  the client may have what you need.  You can always digitize from a photo. 

 

Previous post by John touched base on working in Map or Civil 3D - almost a must if you are creating maps from textual data, shp files, survey data, etc.  

 

Hope this helps.
