The map expands from right to left and shows the Yellow River flowing from the west upstream to the east. North is at the bottom. The map covers the area from Toubao and Dawangmiao in the west to Shangxun and Xiaxun of Zhongheting in the east. The map records various types of embankments. The map depicts the location of fortifications and fascine construction along the Yellow River. Red labels pasted on the map identify construction sites and describe fascine construction and project length. The official seals attached to the red labels are written in Manchu and Chinese.
