Title is written on the map. Scale and legend are not given; orientation is written along the borders on all four sides with north at the bottom. The map offers pictorial depictions of mountains, sea waves, Pingyang Brigade, and its affiliated battalions. Military posts and checkpoints are annotated; places and military staffing levels are also annotated on the map. The map may be a part of a set. Pingyang County was under the jurisdiction of Wenzhou Prefecture, and was situated 130 li southwest of Wenzhou prefectural seat. Pingyang’s jurisdiction area was bordered by Songbu battalion (i.e. a branch of Rui’an Brigade) to the east, Zhenxiakwan (i.e. a Fukien Brigade) to the south, Fenshuikwan (i.e. Tongshan Brigade) to the west, and Feiyun Ferry (i.e. Rui’an Brigade) to the north. The map may have been drawn around the 25th year of Qing Qianlong’s reign, 1760.
