No title appears on this 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. Longyou County was under the jurisdiction of Chuzhou Prefecture. The map depicts Longyou County pictorially, while mountains, military stations, and temples are explained in annotations. The county seal in Manchu and Chinese is stamped on the top. This is an official military map. There isn’t enough information given to estimate when the map was made; however, judging from the military posts established Jiangnan, the map may have been drawn during the Qing Jiaqing and Daoguang period, 1800-1840.
