The map depicts mountains and lakes in Jiangsu Province. The map uses the Chinese cartographic grid; a side of each grid represents 100 li (approximately 33 miles). Orientation is marked along the borders on all four sides. Text on the bottom left describes prefectures and counties in the province; it also records number of prefectures, municipalities, sub-prefectures, and counties. The note also gives the distances from cities and towns to Jiangning Fu, the provincial capital, and its location and distance in relation to Shuntian Fu (Beijing). Different symbols are used to indicate the location of prefectures, municipalities, sub-prefectures, and counties. Major cities and towns are prominently marked. The note also records adjoining states and counties along the border. The map is slightly torn at the center and bottom left.
