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