It has already been revealed in a prior study that the first modern map of the Korean Peninsula wasproduced by the Japanese Military Surveys. The Korean Empire government established an intellectual departmentin 1895 and established the Yangjiamun in 1898 and attempted to train the survey for mapping and development,but there was some discussion among the Chungchuwon about the abolition of the issue. Map and surveyeducation for making modern maps of Korea was first conducted at Yungheung Agricultural Training Centerin 1909. It was the implementation of the new education and forest law that the survey education became anurgent matter for Korea. As a result, surveying schools and institutes have been established in Seoul and otherparts of the country, stimulating survey education. It is believed that the year 1908 to 1909 was the heydayof surveying school. At this time, Yungheung Agricultural Training Center of Bosung Primary School wastransferred to the forestry properties of Bosung College. However, the four short years of surveying have beenshort-lived due to financial difficulties and the annexation of Korea.
