Can I plot axis on top of a figure

I wanna know if its possible to plot this with matlab. And how?

I assume it can be done since it seems that the map is build with m_map but not quite sure how to put new axis on top of that. I don't even know how to call this to search if somebody else has already asked this question.

Thanks in advance

See attached demos where I inset an axes on top of another, underneath axes.
