This large painting-like map provides a bird’s-eye view of Jinju, focusing on the inner and outer walls and moats surrounding the old town. It also presents important government offices, the local Confucian school, and farming fields and paddies located outside the walls. The names of important buildings are written carefully in regular Chinese script, conveying the historical ambience of the time the map was produced. In view of various characteristic features, the map is believed to have been made in the 19th century. Drawn on paper in ink and light color, the map is mounted on a ten-panel screen. It is the most outstanding map depicting the walls of Jinju in terms of documentary and painterly value.
