The attention to detail is evident in the careful delineation of political boundaries, transportation routes, and urban centers, which are meticulously labeled, providing an invaluable glimpse into the era's geopolitical landscape.
Each region is shaded with a delicate color palette, distinguishing the diverse terrains and elevations across the Asian part of the Russian Empire. Latitude and longitude lines are drawn with precision, framing the cartographic masterpiece and aiding in navigation and study.
