Historic map of Jeju-do
This map, published by the Seoul University and available at the Folkcraft & Natural History Museum in Jeju City, is accompanied by a description (in Korean) that reads:
Cheju Three Districts Island
18th century; preserved in the King's archives
This map's specialty is that the entire shape is drawn as an ellipse, in a
similar way as it is drawn nowadays with relief and detailed specific features.
Jeju-do's surrounding islands, the coast of Jolla-do, also Japan, Koryo
territory and and parts of China were put on.
The three district seats are marked in red, the farmhouses as round yellow
spots, the signal posts are in the form of a torch and the look-out posts
are indicated in green. Official buildings, village names, fortresses
(castles, signal fires, regiments), farmhouses, harbours, streams, were
all very clearly marked.
