You can apply a mask by adding an Overlay betwen the map and Label/Road:

let path = NSBundle.mainBundle().pathForResource("overlay", ofType: "png")
let fileURL = NSURL(fileURLWithPath: path!)
self.overlay = MKTileOverlay(URLTemplate: fileURL.absoluteString)
self.overlay!.canReplaceMapContent = false
self.mapView.addOverlay(self.overlay!, level: MKOverlayLevel.AboveRoads)
