Korean Peninsula Classic
Korean Peninsula Map
The Korean Peninsula map depicts the rugged terrain using shaded relief and includes the elevation of prominent mountains and ocean depths in meters. It portrays both North and South Korea and uses the latest system for transcribing South Korean place-names from the Korean alphabet.
In great detail, the map delineates the latest administrative divisions of both countries along with July 27, 1953, Military Demarcation Line- the historic demarcation line between the two Koreas. It also portrays the transportation grid of both countries, including South Korea's high-speed passenger railway network.
