The map is color coded by county with townships also identified and shows railroads, wagon roads, canals, rivers, ports, and towns of the mid-19th century. Two small inset maps include the vicinity of the Welland Canal & Niagara Falls and Wolf Island between New York and County Frontenac. Important Canadian cities such a Toronto and Hamilton, are shown as are the American cities of Detroit, Cleveland, Buffalo, and Rochester.
