To communicate spatial information effectively, features such as rivers, lakes, and cities need to be labeled. Over centuries cartographers have developed the art of placing names on even the densest of maps.

Index Contour Contour line that is accentuated in thickness and is often labeled with the appropriate measure of elevation. Index contours occur every four or fifth contour interval and help the map user read elevations on a map.
A label is also needed to identify what the entity is. For example a section of railroad line could be represented by a line consisting of a starting and ending x, y coordinate and the label "railroad".
