Description
English: Daedongyeojido ("The Great Map of the East Land") is a full scale clarification needed map of Korea produced in 1861. Although no modern survey techniques were used, it is remarkably similar to modern maps. This marks the zenith of pre-modern Korean cartography; this file is the full mozaic version of it, which can be read just as easily as a Google interactive map. JPG(99 MB) mirror, PNG(618 MB) mirror. All three extant copies of the map are designated as secondary national treasures of South Korea; this one is treasure item number 850-3, which is owned by Seoul National University's Kyujanggak Institute for Korean Studies. Stamps on the map indicate its ownership (""서울 大學校 圖書" for "Seoul National University's book"; "朝鮮総督府圖書之印" for "stamp of Governor-General of Korea"; and "奎章閣韓國學圖書" for Kyujanggak Institute for Korean Studies.

한국어: 《대동여지도》(大東輿地圖)는 1861년에 김정호가 제작한 한국의 고지도이다. 근대적 측량 기술이 사용되지 않았으나, 그 세밀함이 근대의 지도에 필적한다. 전근대 한국 지도제작술의 정수라고 할 수 있다.
