This is a nautical chart as all the information provided is either on the coast line or on the water with the inland mostly black. The map depicts a somewhat incomplete coast line of the areas around Macao and the Pearl River. The coast line of the east bank of the Pearl River Estuary is much more detailed than the one on the west, that is quite lacking. Some soundings are provided mostly only the route that Froger's ship followed passing by Shangchuan Island (Sanciam) Coloane (Matchong) up the Pearl River through Humen (Bouche du Tigre) until Guangzhou (Canton) with a few Pagodas marked along the way. There is the Lotus Pagoda or Wenchang Pagoda (Tour du Lion), the Pazhou Pagoda and the Red Stone Hill Pagoda or Chigang Pagoda. The most detailed information is military with the location of a lot of forts and batteries. Macao show the city separated from Wangxia by the city wall and also has forts marked as well and the Inner Harbor.
