New Blog Links: https://history.army.mil/books/maps.htm and https://history.army.mil/books/maps.htm
My first blog link shows an archive of maps depicting Asia or Korea in the Korean War from the U.S. Army Center of Military History. The second is a collection of rare maps from the National Library of Korea.
Atlas of the Week: https://www.edmaps.com/html/korea.html
For my Atlas of the Week, I chose Edmaps’ Historical Maps of Korea, which is a collection of both maps of Korea during the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries. I chose this atlas site because it is a great resource for understanding the propositions being made and perspectives being expressed by certain groups of people (the US, Korea, Japan, National Geographic, etc) on Korea’s role regionally and geo-politically in the modern era. For example, one of the maps it shows is a map created during WWII by the USA of the railways that the Japanese put into Korea to China in 1928. This map was both a proposition of how the US saw how their enemy was structurally organized in Korea, and (at least to my own analysis) tells us that they were going to use this information to help win the war. This atlas is also a great resource because it provides links to other atlases depicting East Asia from mainly university sources.
