The title is written on a red label affixed to the verso of the map. Scale and legend are not given; orientation is marked along the borders on all four sides with north at the bottom. The map covers the area from Ou River estuary in Wenzhou Prefecture in the north, to the south bank of the Anyang River in Rui’an County in the South. The map contains pictorial depictions of cities, military posts, mountains, islands and temples. All place names are annotated. Black lines form boundary markers with neighboring counties; red lines form boundary markers with neighboring battalions. Red labels are affixed to the lines for further description, such as “the most important and less important matter, soldiers increased and transferred; distance mileages are noted in the accompanying text.” Unfortunately the text is now lost.
The Right Regiment under Wenzhou Division was established in the 13th year of Qing Shunzhi’s reign, 1656. The map may have been drawn during Qing Jiaqing and Daoguang period, 1800-1840.
