Title appears to be missing from the map; the title applied here is based on content. Scale and legend are not given; orientation and boundaries are marked along the borders on all four sides with north at the bottom. The map depicts some features pictorially and with simple graphic lines, including the distribution of military units, waterways, and ports in Jingjiang Brigade. There are nine red labels with text on the map, including one label that missed part of the title. Jingjiang County is under the jurisdiction of Changzhou Prefecture, located in the north of the Yangtze River; Jingjiang Brigade is under the Jiangnan Naval Corps Admiral. The map does not indicate the Liuwensa’ artillery forts built in the 23th year of Qing Daoguang’s reign. The map may have been drawn before the 22nd year of Qing Daoguang’s reign, -1842.
