The maps show numbered city blocks and the buildings situated on them, the street numbers of the buildings and their heights in storeys. Buildings are colour-coded according to construction materials and/or use. (See Page 1 of the Charlottetown maps for a key explaining the colours, as well as symbols, which are used to identify architectural features.) Labels on some buildings indicate their use. The maps show street widths measured in feet. Locations of hydrants are indicated by blue circles. The maps have compasses with north arrows and line scales in feet.
