Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the current status of the modern maps of Jeju Island which had been produced in the early 20th century and to scrutinize the natural environment and landscape change of Jeju island in this period through geographic information reflected in modern topographic maps of Korea. To this end, the authors investigated the characteristics of the 1:50,000 topographic maps of Jeju Island that had been produced from the late 19th century untill the early 20th century on the basis of the analysis of 25 topographic maps; 11 produced in the 1910s, 8 in the 1950s, and 6 in the 1970s. In addition, geographical names was compared and information on administrative districts at that time was restored through the investigation of 《大東輿地圖(Daedongyeo-jido)》와 『民籍統計表(Minjeok-tonggyepyo)』, 『新舊對照朝鮮全道府郡面里洞名稱一覽(Shingudaejo-joseon-jeondobugunmyeonridong-myengchingillam)』, 『地方行政一覽表(Jibanghaengjeong-illampyo)』. Integrating this restored information with the modern topographic map produced in the early 20th century, the authors identified the geographical information of administrative districts, geographical names, and rivers of Jeju Island during this period and confirmed the historical geographic environment at that time. Therefore, this study is meaningful in that the appearance of Jeju Island in the early 20th century was restored by using place names and geographic information reflected on the modern topographic maps of Korea.
