Daedongyeojido

[3] Daedongyeojido is considered very advanced for its time, and marks the zenith of pre-modern Korean cartography.

[2] The techniques to create the map have been described as a hybrid of Korean and Western methods.

[5] The map is praised for precise delineations of mountain ridges, waterways, and transportation routes.

It also has markings for settlements, including villages, as well as notable administrative and cultural areas and sites, such as past and present government offices and military sites, public warehouses, government horse ranches, beacon fire mounds, and royal tombs.

However, the map of Daedongyeojido did not portray the internationally disputed Dokdo Islands, and the ensuing public debate in Korea over whether the map on a banknote should be changed to include them made the image too controversial for such a high-visibility placement.
