The map depicts mountains and lakes in Sichuan Province. Text on the bottom left records the number of prefectures, municipalities, sub-prefectures, and counties. The note also gives the distances from cities and towns to the provincial capital, Chengdu Fu, and its distance and location in relation to Shuntian Fu (Beijing). The map uses the Chinese cartographic grid; a side of each grid represents 100 li (approximately 33 miles). The 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 and towns are prominently marked. The note also records adjoining states and counties along the border.
The map is one of 26 maps in “Huang chao zhi sheng di yu quan tu” compiled by Hubei Guan Shu Ju in the 3rd Year of Qing Tongzhi Reign (1864).
