This is one of a series of eleven county river maps of Henan Prefecture. North is at the bottom. Drawn in traditional Chinese landscape style, the map depicts the mountains, cities, villages, and roads of Luoyang County (now a suburb of Luoyang) in Henan Prefecture, Henan Province. Roads are represented in red dotted lines, the city with pictorial walls. There are no annotations on the map except red text labels indicating place names, rivers, and irrigation canals. The map emphasizes Luo River, Yi River, and the other rivers and tributaries in the county. The map is accompanied with text describing local river systems.
