Covers an area to the west and south-west of Peking (北京). Shows hydrology, settlements and the line of the route. Place-names are given in non-standard romanisation.
The sheets show hydrology, relief, communications, and numbered settlements. Place-names in Wade-Giles romanisation have been selectively added in pencil.
