I was looking around but couldn't find anything that worked like a lexicon; a single source with all of the various bits and pieces of a map defined for us new to cartography.

There are lots of threads and I'm sure there's a topic for every item on a map, but I don't know what to search for to find any of them since I don't know what to call it. Using something like "those seemingly random straight lines that cover some maps and vaguely correspond to cardinal directions" seems a bit imprecise.

Thanks for any help pointing me in the right direction.
