According to the red labels, the map covers the area from the west bank of Yingzexun to Lanyangxun in the east. The total length of embankment is more than 271 li (approximately 85 miles).
The map depicts the Yellow River's south embankment and various construction sites. Red labels are affixed to describe embankments, reinforcements, construction sites, construction length, and construction officials. The official seals attached to the red labels are written in Manchu and Chinese. Extra efforts were made to identify the construction sites even when the labels fell off.
