'it provides illumination along the way' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'settler working with map' is the wordplay.
'working with' indicates anagramming the letters (working with the letters).
'settler' anagrammed with 'map' gives 'STREET LAMP'.
