Part of the map is missing. East is oriented to the left and north to the bottom. The map covers the entire territory under the jurisdiction of the Qing Dynasty General of Jilin. The map depicts the following places from southwest to northeast: Wangqingmen, Yingemen, Huoersumen, Yitongmen, Barannifoluomen, coastal areas and islands from Tumenjiang estuary to Heilongjiang estuary, including Sakhalin, and south of Huntongjiang (Heilongjiang).
The Songhua River, the Mudan River, and the Ussuri River are emphasized. Six lieutenant generals are stationed along the rivers in jurisdictions, such as Jilin, Ningguta, Alechuke, Baidu(na)cheng, Sanxingcheng, and Hunchun. They are depicted with red squares. Various round or square symbols represent different administrative divisions. Changbai Mountain is emphasized with prominent features; Xinkai Lake (ie Xingkaihu) and Abo Lake are particularly marked, Sakhalin Island is drawn with a special annotation: "There are twenty-one villages (tun) on the island and three ethnic groups live here: Sakhalin, Feiyake, and Elunchun." Based on the information gathered from the map, the map was made during the Guangxu period (1882-1889).
