This map portrays a horse ranch in Salgoji, Seoul and the office in charge of it in the style of true-view landscape painting. It is presumed that the map was drawn up prior to 1846, the year the ranch was closed. The map also marks an altar at which prayers were given for the health of horses, a pond for watering horses, and a stable.
