AB - This paper is a categorical investigation of Gando and its regional categories based on the Japanese-made Gaihōzu map and the Chinese Army Chiefs of Staff’s map. Gando has both meanings of historical and natural geography. The categories adopted expose overlapping areas of significance that provide a historical sketch of the Gando region’s perceived geographical layout at that time. However, several contradictions in interpreting this layout reveal stark differences in how people imagined this area geographically during the Japanese colonial period. Few scholars have carefully analyzed these contradictory interpretations, while often selectively ignoring or adopting what works for their needs. The Baekdusan National Boundary Monument that the Mokjeokgung established in 1712 and the description of the Tumen River both served as significant geopolitical plots used as grid reference for Gando’s regional map plotting. Gando’s isoline gradually expanded from the north of the Tumen River to the upper part of the Yalu River. Scholars and people in the past often referenced Gando as when referencing Japan and China’s geolocational plotting and sketching of the area. Deriving its name from the island between the Tumen River and a shoal of a sandbar that creates a waterway, Gando expands to inland areas. These geographic perceptions led to ‘Gando’ as a significant geopolitical symbol used to refer to Korean migrants.
