That depends on what type of map you are referring to. On a weather map it's usually part of a warm front. On a road map they could be any type of road the cartographer specifies. On a topographical map they could be elevation lines. On the Washington Transit Map it's the red line train. Check the legend and it will more than likely tell you.
Parallel lines found on a map correspond to latitude.

There can be various lines on a map, but the ones you are probably thinking of are 'latitude' and 'longitude'.
They are quite probably boundaries of some kind. Check the legend on the map to find out what kind of boundary they are.
longitude
On a map, longitude lines go up and down, AKA vertically. Latitude lines are horizontal lines on a map.
The lines are what determines the absolute location of a place on the map.
A map with contour lines is called a topographic map. These lines represent changes in elevation and help to visualize the shape of the terrain. Topographic maps are commonly used for hiking, surveying, and land navigation.
The lines that are perpendicular to the latitude lines on a map are called longitudinal lines. There are 24 of them, each representing 15 degrees of change.
