From the map's 'Info' box:

 

Avenue: traditionally a straight path or road with a line of trees or large shrubs running along each side.

Street: a public thoroughfare in a built environment which allow people to freely assemble, interact, and move about.

Alley: a narrow lane, path, or passageway, often reserved for pedestrians, which usually runs between buildings.

Court: a circumscribed area, often surrounded by a building or complex, that is open to the sky. Such spaces in inns and public buildings were often the primary meeting places for some purposes, leading to the other meanings of court. Both of the words court and yard derive from the same root, meaning an enclosed space.

Lane: a lane is a narrow road or a minor street.

Row: a street with a continuous line of houses along one or both of its sides.

Hill: a street with an incline. The City of London has two small hills - Ludgate Hill to the west and Cornhill to the east.
