Title appears to be missing from the map; the title applied here is based on content. Scale and legend are not given; orientation is marked along the borders on all four sides with north at the bottom. The map depicts some features pictorially, such as fortification works, villages, temples, and town walls. Most place names are annotated on the map; red labels are affixed to the map to note the three areas of Miaowan Brigade (Sheyang Lake, Shuangyangzi Port, the mouth of the Yellow River), coastline sea rise, tides and water level changes, and coastal sand lines surveys. Based on the depiction of battalions and river branches along Sheyang Lake, the map may have been drawn around the 24th year of Qianlong’s reign, 1759.
