Surrounding locations of interest are labeled, including Fort Ward, Luna Park, and the Old Soldier's Home. An unidentifiable cartographer's mark can be seen in the lower right. The verso lists departure times for each stop, fare rates (50 cents, half for children 5-12), and the Navy Yard route steamers in operation - H.B. Kennedy, Athlon, and Tourist.
