Jeonju Bu Map

This is a large map, in the form of a four-panel folding screen, depicting the whole of Jeonju bu centred on the area within the walls of Jeonju bu fortress. The map shows the fortress walls and gates, the layout of the government offices, and the hyanggyo (local Confucian school), seowon (private Confucian academy), and trees, while outside the walls the mountains and rivers are drawn in the old pictorial manner, with the name of each myeon (township) written in. In the corners of the map are marked the distances to the four directions from Jeonju bu and the distances to neighbouring districts, and it precisely records the number of registered households (wonho): 3,783 households in the four myeon within Jeonju bu, and 12,215 households in the myeon outside Jeonju bu, giving a total of 15,998 registered households across 31 myeon in all.
