The map focuses on bedrock geology, which it depicts in terms of 23 time-rock units. These units, distinguished by colour, range in age from Archaean to Cainozoic; the Archaean units include some of the world's oldest dated rocks - 3900 million years old.
Colour-striping locally shows the intermingling of two or more time-rock units.
Spot symbols indicate the general locations of Proterozoic mafic dyke swarms, Phanerozoic calc-alkaline dykes, the early Mesozoic tholeiitic dolerite intrusives.
The text is largely a commentary of the bedrock geology depicted on the map, but includes brief comments of the continental margins, glaciation and resources of Antarctica.
