The purpose of this study is to investigate the geographical information of Northern Territory in late Joseon Period through Old Western Maps and Huang chao yi tong yu di quan tu. Firstly, the types of borderline between Joseon and China represented in Old western maps were analysed. Throughout the eighteenth century, maps remained inaccurate with regards to actual political control in regions of Gando. So these maps have serious problems for use in territory sovereignty claim. Secondly, Huang chao yi tong yu di quan tu was used by China for the Tomun and Duman to be same river in 1885 Border meetings. But it was used by Lee Jung-Ha for the argument that the source of Dumangang was Hongtosu in 1887 meetings. Now Hongtosu is the border line between China and North Korea. In conclusion, the old map should be objectively and throughly investigated to be used for the claiming of the Territorial Sovereignty over northern territory.
