The atlas was made in the 8th year of Quang Thuận era (1467) when King Le Thanh Tong ordered the mandarins to draw maps from each province and send them to the Ministry of Households. The map was completed and issued in the 21st year of Hồng Đức era (1490). However, the original atlas was lost. The atlas presented the outline of the border and the administrative system of Dai Viet in the second half of the 15th century.
