The National Institute of Korean History, NIKH (국사편찬위원회) publishes the 1/50,000 scale topographic map of Korea from the "外邦図 (Gaihōzu)" on the internet. Instead of their unique index, the original image of the index "朝鮮全図一覽表(朝鮮土地調査局測量)五万分一" written in Japanese Kanji is at the beginning of the list. When referring to each piece of map, titles are listed in Japanese Kanji (including old characters), but everything else for navigation (buttons and explanations) is in Korean. Each of mapsseems to be the first editionthat was mainly surveyed and printed around Taisho 6 (1917) (and the Revised Showa edition like the ones on the Stanford site don't seem to be included).

There are almost no distortions like the Stanford site's, and there is a download function, but the problem is thatthe explanation of license is somewhat unclear.

To see individual map sheet, when you are seeing a list of the section names (equivalent to the title of a 1 / 200,000 sheet) in Japanese Kanji such as "朝鮮五万分一地形圖(慶源, 鍾城)", select the Japanese character string instead of the button. You'll see the triangle "▷" pointing to the right, push it to expand. After you narrowed down to the list of each map title such as "朝鮮五万分一地形圖 : 慶興(慶興五號)" which includes "號" (号), press the button on the right named "원문이미지" (Original Image). To download the image of a map sheet, use the icon with a down arrow in the top right corner of the screen where you are viewing the map. A confirmation pop-up will appear in your browser asking "저장하시겠습니까?" (Do you want to save?)

Although it is not possible to view Gaihozu online on the Gifu Prefectural Library website, they provide a photocopying service (for a price). The scales of the Korean Peninsula topographic map are 1/25,000, 1/50,000, and 1/200,000. Details such as the application procedure can be found on the page "地図の郵送による複写" (Copying and sending maps via postal mail). It appears that the maps to be copied for user are already copied from the original maps, and arerough, so if you are looking for high quality, it is better to try a small amount and check before requesting a large quantity.

"朝鮮半島五万分の一地図集成, 学生社, 昭和 56 年 (1981)" (Collection of 1/50,000 scale maps of the Korean Peninsula, Gakusei-sha, Showa 56 (1981) ) is a collection of 1/50,000 topographic maps about 700 pieces compiled into one book and sold. Searching on CiNii, as of May 2023, you can find the book in about 80 university libraries. There also appears to be a revised version from 1994.

This is a one-page map of the entire Korean Peninsula showing mine names, etc. It is very useful for understanding the general location of mines when tracing/checking Sadajiro's 朝鮮鉱床論 (Chōsen Kōshō-ron, Ore deposits of Chosen (Korea)) and its references, so I, TK, often mentions it in the annotations of the Re-edited edition PDF I wrote.

The underlying map is old, and place names on the map must be read from right to left, and mine names must be read from left. Comparing with topographical maps and the annual report of the Railway Bureau, this underlying map shows the routes between 球場 (Kyūjō) and 無尽台 (Mujindai) of the 満浦線 (Manpo Line) but has an error.
