This is a copy of a collection of maps. Cheonhado (Map of the World) contains twenty-eight constellations in the outer circle, while Jungguk jido (Map of China) includes various kingdoms throughout Chinese history along with the administrative districts of the Ming Dynasty. Joseon Jeondo (Atlas of Joseon) includes five districts (bu) in Seoul and brief records on the history of Joseon. Dobyeoldo (Map of Provinces) contains records about the number of counties and prefectures, stations, military bases, fortresses, and finances, while Geumgangsando (Map of Geumgansan Mountain) distinctively emphasizes the mountain’s peaks. Seonggyeongdo (Map of Seonggyeong) seems to form part of a village record titled Seonggyeongji, and focuses on fences and long fortresses. Lastly, the collection also contains Ilbon Jido (Map of Japan) and Yugugukdo (Map of Yuguguk).
