The map depicts the country from Vancouver to Bear River on the north and from Eugene City to Red Butte on the south, with the routes and trails, the agencies, missions, forts, passes, emigrant roads, unexplored regions, and all the newly located gold deposits.

The text states that the map had been corrected by Alonzo Leland and others who had mined and prospected during the past season in the regions described. It is a narrative of conditions at the new diggings, written from personal experience. The text also contains the code of sixteen laws adopted at a meeting of miners at Summit Hall, and the mining laws of the Oro Fina District adopted at a mass meeting of the miners of that district. There are also two tables of distances to various points in the mining regions, the first from Portland the other from Walla Walla.
