A reference map acts as the fundamental source of information pertaining to various morphological features in studies related to Geographic information system (GIS). The feature set includes rivers, contours, transportation-network, national and international demarcation to name a few. Each of these features is represented on the reference map with the help of different color code to ease the task of visual interpretation while digitizing them. So reference map can be considered as superimposed layers of information casted on the terrain. One of the key features associated with a reference map is text demarking the landmarks and the rivers etc. These texts play an important role in identifying the land marks and rivers while performing studies related to drainage network or demography.
