The map expands from right to left and shows the Yellow River flowing from the west upstream to the east downstream. North is at the bottom. The map covers the area from the junction of Zhongheting Zhongmuxiaxun and Xiananting Xiangfushangxun in the west to the junction of Xiananting Chenliuxun and Lanyiting Lanyangxun in the east.
The map depicts Xiahenanting and the location of fortifications and fascine construction on the south shore from Xiangfu County, Kaifeng Prefecture to Chenliu County. The Yellow River is colored in yellow, but the color is faded. There are six red labels pasted on the map to identify construction sites. Red notes also describe fascine construction and project length. The official seals attached to the red labels are written in Manchu and Chinese.
