A map reference indicating a location in terms of a series of vertical and horizontal grid lines identified by numbers or letters.
A grid, or on orthogonal grid, to be more precise.
I think {grid or grid lines} is the term you're looking for.

The grid of vertical and horizontal lines on a map represents latitude and longitude coordinates that help in locating specific points on the map using a system of geographic coordinates. These lines intersect at regular intervals to form a grid that aids in navigation, measuring distances, and determining exact locations on Earth's surface.
A map reference indicating a location in terms of a series of vertical and horizontal grid lines identified by numbers or letters.
a grid on a map is like a chart where one side should be numbers and the other side should be letters. like for the question what is located at g4? go to g and over four, and go to four and down four.
The critical rule for reading a map to determine grid coordinates is to first determine the longitude (vertical lines) and then the latitude (horizontal lines) on the map that intersect at the point of interest. The grid coordinates are then expressed as a combination of the longitude and latitude lines.
There are really two answers to this: If you mean the vertical and horizontal lines, then yes, these are longitude and latitude. If however you mean the lines (particularly on older maps) that seem to run in diagonals almost like a compass...these are known as Rhumb lines and were used to help navigate between major cities or ports.
Grid references are a way to precisely pinpoint a location on a map by using intersecting lines on a grid. The vertical lines are numbered and are called eastings, while the horizontal lines are lettered and are called northings. The intersection of a specific easting and northing provides a unique reference point on the grid to locate a particular place.
A global grid uses a system of lines of latitude and longitude which allows you to locate any place on Earth with a simple number code and a map grid uses a a system of imaginary to divide up space on a map and you could locate a place that is either in or local to what place the map is representing.
A map grid is a framework of horizontal and vertical lines used to locate positions on a map. It helps to show landmasses accurately on a flat surface by providing coordinates for specific locations.

They are the horizontal lines on a map.
