The map expands from right to left and orientations are noted along the river; north is on the bottom. The map covers the area from Tangguoxun, Wuzhi County in the west to the junction of Huangqinting Yuanwuxun and Beiweiliangting Yangwuxun in the east. The map depicts the waterways under Hebei jurisdiction and fortification and fascine construction on the north shore from Wuzhi County to Lanyang County where the Yellow River burst its bank. Construction sites are identified by pasted red labels that describe fascine construction and the project length. The official seals attached to the red labels are written in Manchu and Chinese.
This is a comprehensive map of Hebei Province and its four sub-prefectures on the north bank of the Yellow River.
