The map of Fujian doesn't cover the entire province, but only the provincial capital area, and Lianjiang, Changle County. The map depicts the provincial capital Fuzhou City, the location of mountains, rivers, islands, ports, villages, towns, forts in the vicinity of Zhongzhou and Wuhumen (from Nantai to Minjiang Estuary) and Chinese army units stationed in the fortress. The English translation of annotated place names is in black ink with the English title penciled in as “ Chinese map of Foo chou & its suburbs.” The English text is believed to have been written by the map's one-time owner, Thomas Dunn, who was the American counsel in Fuzhou (1858-73).
