Title is written on a yellow label affixed to the map’s verso. Scale and legend are not given; orientation is marked along the borders on all four sides with north at the top. The map contains pictorial depictions of cities, military posts, and bridge piers; place names are annotated. The Yin River is in the center of the map (also known as the Yong River), and it is known as the Dajia River in the Zhenhai County. The map covers the area from Ningbo to the East Sea; from the border of Yin County and Zhenhai County in the south to the Hangzhou Bay in the north; to the Songpu and Longshan military battalions in the west. The map covers administrative divisions within Zhenhai County.        
        
Zhenhai Naval Brigade was established in 1646, under the jurisdiction of the Dinhai Division. All military posts under Longshan Suo in the west of Zhenhai County and the three battalions which became under the jurisdiction of Tibiaoqian Brigade in 1724 are marked on the map, but the Zhenhai battalion’s maritime jurisdiction are not yet present. The map may have been drawn after the second year of Qing Yongzheng’s reign, 1724.
