A Route Map for the Main Road from Baoji to the Sichuan Border in the Qing Period
The US Library of Congress has a 55 foot long painted scroll map showing the route and places along the way between Baoji in Shaanxi to the Sichuan border.
The subset to the left shows the walled city of Fengxian. The road passes through this place (which may be present day Fengzhou) and then joins the Lianyun (or “Cloud linked”) route to the Bao River and from there to Baocheng and further to the Shaanxi/Sichaun border.
The scroll map has been scanned at high resolution. Some quick look scans have been derived and can be found on this web site.

This picture of Ancient Xingzhou (古兴州图, present day Lüeyang, 略阳) is in a mural at the Temple of the River God in Lüeyang. It shows the area at a time when the river traffic was extensive and Xingzhou was a major centre and strategic point along the Old Shu Road joining Fengxian and the Yangping Pass. The strategic importance of Xingzhou was recognised by Zhuge Liang in the Three Kingdoms period.
