Orientation is clearly marked on four sides of the map with north to the top, west on the left. The map doesn't use coordinates or the Chinese grid, nor does it use legends or explanatory text. Mountains are represented with a triangle. The map depicts the geomorphology of mountains, rivers, and lakes in Anxi Zhou and Qinghai region outside the Jiayuguan Pass of the Great Wall of western Gansu Province. The map shows major rivers, grazing areas, and the distribution of tusi (tribes). Small circles represent the Yellow River's wetlands near the Zhalinghai Sea and Elinghai Sea. 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).
