AB - Since the 19th century, numerous modern historical atlases have been produced in the Anglosphere, and its tradition has been maintained to this day. As a result, the historical atlases published in the Anglosphere are used as a key reference in the publication of the historical atlases in many other countries, including South Korea. Despite their reputation, however, these historical atlases have considerable cartographic and historical geographic problems. In this study, I analysed historical maps related to the Northeast Asian region, contained in the Times Complete World History and the DK World History Atlas. The analysis found problems such as lack of basic cartographic elements such as a scale bar, a north arrow, inappropriate representations of geographical elements such as coastlines and streams, inappropriate marking of borders, and the Korean Peninsula shape. In terms of historical geography, the exaggeration of the territories of commanderies of Han China, the question of the pronouncing of the name of Balhae Kingdom and the problem of marking of Chinese territory on the Korean Peninsula were identified. Moreover, It was found that Dokdo was not drawn, and the name of East Sea was juxtaposed with Sea of Japan with few exceptions in these two historical atlases.
