No title appears on this map; the title applied here is based on content. No scale or legend is given; orientation is marked along the borders on all four sides with north at the top. The map depicts geographic features of Zhoushan Island, including mountains, rivers, waterways, bridges, flood seasons, and major roads. Roads between mountains are indicated in red dotted lines. Dinghai town on the bottom left is represented by defensive walls and gates. Another significant landmark on the map is the rammed-earth walls between Qingleitou and Zhushangmen.
The original Dinghai County in Ningbo Prefecture, Zhejiang Province was renamed as Zhenhai County in the 26th year of Kangxi’s reign, 1687, and the name of Dinhai County was later applied to a newly established county in Zhoushan Island. Based on the name changes and the description of the rammed-earth defensed walls, the map may have been drawn after the 21st year of Qing Daoguang’s reign, 1841.
