Reference books and guides generally have an index at the back, which sorts the contents alphabetically. This makes it far easier to find specific information. Map books are no different. There is an index of road names and important buildings which gives the grid reference and page number of each name. On the other hand, a contents page, or table of contents, is in front of the books, and provides the content in which it appears in the book, usually with page numbers. 1.4
