The map expands from right to left with north to the left. The map starts with the east side of the Grand Canal on top. The beginning and ending of the map are identified respectively as “south” and “north” in Chinese characters to indicate orientation. The map starts from Huanglinzhuang at the junction of Jiangnan Pizhou and Yicheng County in Shandong Province; and ends at Zheyuanzhen at the junction of Dezhou, Shandong Province and Jingzhou, Zhili Province.
Drawn in traditional Chinese landscape style, the map depicts the landforms, sluice gates, embankment dams, and culverts along the Grand Canal in Shandong Province. Annotations describe the boundaries of the canal marshals' jurisdiction, river branches and water system distribution.
