Munsan-ni Korea

A fifth edition grid coloured paper map of Munsan-ni, Korea (sheet 6527). It was prepared under the direction of the Chief of Engineers by the Army Map Service, U.S. Army in 1951and compiled in 1946 from the 1933 Japanese Imperial Land Survery. It is mainly based on aerial photography from 1946, 1947, and 1948 by photogrammatic methods by the 64th Engineer Base Topographic Battalion. The map uses romanized Korean to label places. The bottom left corner of the map details the production of the map and underneath these details is the legend which explains multiple geographic and cartographic markers. Such markers include roads, railroads, regional boundaries, walls, and temples. Topographic markers include offshore danger areas, rocks (and their appearance at high or low tide), reservoirs, fields, swamps, woods, and scrubs. To the right of the legend are three scales detailing miles, meters, and yards. One example of the scales shows 2.5 inches to 1 mile. A grid North and a magnetic North is also provided near the scale. The right hand side of the map provides a glossary for Korean provincial suffixes in English, an index to boundaries, a coverage diagram of compilation methods, and an index to adjoining sheets.
