The title is written on the upper right and reflects the coverage of the map; the legend appears on the bottom right. The map uses the Chinese cartographic grid and a side of each grid represents 100 li (approximately 33 miles). Longitude and latitude are engraved along the borders on all four sides. The text on the bottom left written by Yang Weifan (1811-1899) stated that the map copied its boundaries, place names, and rivers from the “Map of Imperial China and Foreign Lands”, but the map may not be consistent with the information given by the Sichuan Annals or General Annals because the modern surveys were not available when the annals were written. The map may have been drawn during Qing Tongzhi and Guangxu period, 1863-1899.
