It shows every church in the parish of Monymusk, and in some of the neighbouring parishes, as well as the Ministers' houses. It also shows Castle Fraser and the villages of Monymusk, Cluny and Tillycairn. It shows in great detail the topography of the area, the roads leading to the neighbouring parishes and to Aberdeen, the main waterway the River Don, and some of the smaller burns such as the Garioch Burn and the Ton Burn.
