Samcheok Museum's "Ulleungdo Dohyeong"

Below is an old Korean map of Ulleungdo called "Ulleungdo Dohyeong" (鬱陵島圖形). The exact date of the map is unknown, but it is believed to have been made sometime in the latter part of the Joseon Dynasty (1392 - 1910), before 1882. The map is the property of the Samcheok Municipal Museum (三陟市立博物館).

Could we work on translating it together?

  1. I imput the Chinese Charactor to make it clear on the Map.

    Samchok museum Map of Ulluengdo


    Nearby 沙汰仇味 there are a prominent rocks
    Check 沙汰XX in the 1918 map.(southwest/nearby 南陽堂),considered to be 鳳巖

    It seems doubt that this map is published on 1702.....

    The text on the right side it seems small rock’s height and explanation? but I cannot read it clearly.

    Then they wrote how many and who join the inspection.

  2. Hi gtomr,

    Good job, but I think the two islands are labeled 大于島 (Dae-Udo) and 小于島 (So-Udo), not 大干島 (Dae Gando) and 小干島 (So Gando).

    Much of the writing on the right is strange to me, but it seems to be a list of products brought back, rather than a description of the land. The length (長) and width (廣) measurements could be describing trees and bamboo brought back. One product I do recognize it the ""five seung of ocher (朱土五升).

    Also, besides the product list, it lists the members of the inspection party and gives the circumference of the island.

    Anyway, there still seems to be a lot of mystery to this map. I still wonder who made it and when.

  3. Thank you for the photo, Gerry.

    All I could read was as follows. I omitted many words from the list, since they looks like just a explanation of the product. And I put ● which I couldn't read.
    I'll add more information later when I have more time.

  5. I have added another image to the post that is a partial image of the text on the right. I added it because it is a little clearer and may help people recognize the Chinese characters.

  6. As Mr.Gerry refers, those are product list

    Samchok map of of Ullunegdo Product List

    There are hints those products on 1786~1831 inspector report

    And the two map in samchok and korea central library matchs especially 1827 or 1831

    1786
    1794
    1807
    1827
    1831

    I wonder why no many inspection afater 1831 to 1882???And how Takeshima reserch center recognized the year of those maps.

  10. Thanks, GTOMR.

    The Korean says the map is believed to have been made in the 19th century. It mentions that previous maps did not use the term 仇味 to refer to the coves on Ulleungdo. Another unique characteristic of the map is that it lists the products the inspector brought back to present to the government.

    By the way, I think one of the reasons inspectors brought back a select number of products from the island was to prove that they had actually gone to the island.

    Also, I have noticed on the two islands labeled 大于島 and 小于島 that the mapmaker tried to draw the caves that are on the back sides of Jukdo (竹島) and Gwaneumdo (觀音島). Jukdo has three or four cave-like hollows and Gwaneumdo has two caves on the sides facing away from the main island of Ulleungdo.

    The following link is a picture that shows the backside of Jukdo:
