The subject matter disclosed herein relates to a system and method for automatically identifying features in an electronic map. In some embodiments, the method may comprise extracting features, which may include entryways and structural elements, from an electronic map. Based on the extracted features, one or more hallways may be identified in the electronic maps by using one or more line segments, which may extend between at least one entryway and one or more structural elements, and/or at least one entryway and one or more other entryways. The electronic map may be updated with one or more annotations identifying the one or more hallways.
