a grid or coordinate system
on maps of earth the coordinate system is longitude and latitude. Any point on earth can be located using longitude and latitude. Other maps use longitude/latitude and height above or below a known location (mean sea level) to locate a point in 3 dimensions.
Star maps use grid systems and degree systems similar to longitude and latitude to help locate objects relative to earth.
Many smaller tourist maps and map books will have a arbitrary grid system imposed to ease the finding of places using an index ex lookup main street - the index says it on page 20, J 4.

What is the relationship between vertical angles?
Vertical angles have the same angle measure. Vertical angles are formed by two intersecting lines that look like an "x". Angles that are across from each other on this "x" are called vertical angles.
