The map is divided into grid sections, with major thoroughfares and areas prominently labeled, aiding navigation and orientation within the city. Key streets such as Princes Street and High Street are visible, serving as central axes around which the city's layout is organized. The map's use of color highlights these significant areas, drawing the viewer's eye to the heart of Edinburgh.

Illustrations peppered throughout the map provide a glimpse into Edinburgh's rich cultural and historical tapestry. These drawings vary from depictions of notable buildings and monuments to symbols representing the city's various activities and attractions, such as the Edinburgh Zoo and various cricket and bowls clubs. The inclusion of such details not only adds charm and character to the map but also serves as an informal guide to Edinburgh's points of interest.

Edinburgh's topographical features, such as the iconic Arthur’s Seat, are also represented, offering context to the city’s unique landscape. The juxtaposition of natural features alongside the urban grid exemplifies the city’s blend of natural beauty and historical architecture.

Annotations on the map, such as bus stops and other transportation links, indicate the map's utility for both residents and visitors. The presence of these details suggests the map's role as a practical tool for navigation and exploration within the city.
