The map covers the area from the west of the Langshan Left Brigade to the east of Benbiao Right Brigade along the Yangtze River’s banks. The Yangtze River is represented by waves in the center of the map; mountains, military posts, and cities are depicted pictorially. There are 43 red labels with written text affixed to the map, containing ocean mileage, sailing conditions, artillery placements, and the soldier staffing levels.
