The title is revised from which written in black ink on a red label affixed to the verso of the map. Scale and legend are not given; orientation is marked along the borders on all four sides with north at the top. Prefectural capitals and counties are depicted with town walls; islands and mountains by pictorial symbols, red lines to distinguish inner and outer seas. Some places are accompanied with annotations. There are close to 30 red labels affixed to the map to further explain road mileages, neighboring platoons, brigade jurisdiction range, and ordinary peoples’ lives. This is an official coastal defense map.
