ABSTRACT

The study argues that the survey results and maps made around the coastline of the Korean peninsula during the imperialist expansion process in the Far East of Russia are known to European maps, which was the most accurate geographical information that far. After the Beijing Treaty and the Vladivostok port construction in 1860, Russia determined to create an organized military maps of the Far East, this task was systematically done after 1884 through Korea-Russia Patron Treaty. Nineteen map sheets with scale of 1: 420,000 were drawn around the Korean peninsula, which task ended abruptly after the defeat of Russo-Japanese War in 1905. The most large-scale maps at that the time are to be propagated into the European community, which is responsible for delivering the most detailed geographical information on the Korean peninsula.
