Reclaimed paddies
Broad lowlands between the hills are divided into regular rectangular fields, a grid-like texture that is rare on island maps and records centuries of land reclamation.

The island
About this Ganghwa Island map poster
Ganghwa Island lies at the mouth of the Han River, northwest of Seoul, where the river meets the Yellow Sea near the border with North Korea. It is part of Incheon and is linked to the mainland at Gimpo by road bridges across a narrow strait. The island is large enough to hold a county seat, farming villages, temples and a range of low mountains.
Much of Ganghwa's lowland was reclaimed from the sea over centuries. From above, the island reads as a patchwork of rectangular rice paddies between wooded hills, edged by broad tidal flats. Roads follow the embankments and valleys, and Ganghwa-eup, the main town, sits in the northeast. A Ganghwa Island map poster captures that mix of engineered fields and irregular coast.
The island has an unusually long history for its size. The Goryeo court moved its capital here in the thirteenth century during the Mongol invasions. In the nineteenth century, forts along the eastern strait saw clashes with French and American forces. Its dolmens are part of a UNESCO World Heritage site, and Mani-san in the south holds an altar associated with Dangun, the legendary founder of Korea.

Eastern strait
A narrow waterway separates the island from Gimpo. It is crossed by bridges and lined with the sites of old coastal forts facing the mainland.
Tidal flats
Along the south and west, wide mudflats spread out from the shore, giving the coastline a softer, less defined edge than most islands have.

Why Ganghwa Island
A map that means something
Ganghwa is a weekend escape for many people in Seoul and Incheon, and a place of pilgrimage for anyone interested in Korea's early history. A map of the island suits a home or office where that connection matters, and the paddy-field pattern gives it a texture of its own.
