The map depicts mountains and lakes in Gansu Province. A note along the bottom left side describes the number of administrative divisions: Fu (Prefecture), Zhilizhou (Municipality), Zhou (Provincial city), Ting (Sub-prefecture), Xian (County), and the location and distance of prefecture seats Lanzhou Fu to the capital Shuntian Fu, and distances between cities and towns to the provincial capital. The map uses the Chinese cartographic grid and a side of each grid represents 100 li (approximately 33 miles). The four sides of the map are marked with orientation.

Adjoining states and counties along the border are marked.
