While the image focuses on Mogami District in Dewa Province, with its emphasis on Mount Chōkai​, the image also features detailed representations of Sakata and the regions in the direction of Akita.

Shinjō Castle can be seen in the upper right of the image. Shinjō Castle was twice struck by fires, and since 1675, the castle’s keep has never been rebuilt.
