Daedongyeojido

Daedongyeojido (also Daedong yeojido, Korean: 대동여지도; Hanja: 大東輿地圖; lit. The Map of the Great East) is a large scale map of Korea produced by Joseon dynasty cartographer Kim Jeong-ho in 1861. A second edition was printed in 1864. One source describes it as the "oldest map in Korea". Daedongyeojido is considered very advanced for its time, and marks the zenith of pre-modern Korean cartography.
