A Leaflet map consists of a collection of “Panes” whose view order is controlled using z-index.

How are the layers drawn in Stack Overflow?
The overlay layers will be drawn on top of the base layers. So generally, you’ll want to add your transparent layer to the overlay layers. The autoZIndex option, which is by default On, specifies that the control must assign z indices to each of its layers in the order in which they are added, and that means they’ll be drawn in that order.

When do you add layers to a map?
Also note that when using multiple base layers, only one of them should be added to the map at instantiation, but all of them should be present in the base layers object when creating the layers control. Finally, you can style the keys when you define the objects for the layers.
Are there any free alternative base maps for leaflet?
There are plenty of free and/or commercial alternative base maps, aka “Tile Sources / Servers”. However, “free” does not necessarily mean that you can do whatever you want with them. You should look for their Terms and Conditions to get the exact extent of what you can do. Typically, services will require some usage restriction.
How to make a web map using leaflet?
I am interested in creating a web map application, that will display a map of my country and various files (.tif, shp) on top of it as layers and I decided to build it on top of Leaflet. So when I started, I used a standard map from OpenStreetMaps, using the following code:
