Kim Jeong-ho

Kim Jeong-ho was a Korean geographer and cartographer. His art name was Gosanja. He was born in Hwanghaedo. It is believed that he walked the entire length and breadth of the Korean peninsula, through mountain and valley, in order to research and compile his magnum opus, the Daedongyeojido, a map of Korea that was published in 1861, from which a single-sheet version, the Daedongyeojijeondo, was subsequently made.
