The map

About this Puryŏng-ŭp map poster

Puryŏng-ŭp is the administrative town of Puryŏng County in North Hamgyong Province, in the far northeast of North Korea. The region is mountainous, and from above the town is shaped by its valley. Streets and buildings occupy the flatter land along the valley floor, and wooded slopes rise on either side.

Detailed information about towns in this part of the country is limited, and this page does not guess at it. What the map shows is the general pattern of a North Korean county seat. There is a compact centre with some larger buildings and open spaces, residential blocks nearby, and roads continuing along the valleys toward neighbouring areas.

A Puryŏng-ŭp map poster is best understood as a record of a place's shape: a small town fitted into mountain terrain. It will mean most to those with family ties to the region or a particular interest in northeastern Korea.

01

Valley floor

The town sits on the limited flat land between mountains. On the map, it forms a narrow, elongated shape that follows the course of the valley.

02

Compact centre

The core of the town is a small grouping of streets and larger blocks. It is typical of a county seat, and quieter housing areas surround it.

03

Surrounding mountains

Steep, forested terrain encloses the town on all sides. On paper, it appears as wide open space, which makes the valley streets stand out clearly.

Why Puryŏng-ŭp

A map that means something

For families separated from northeastern Korea, a map of a hometown can carry deep meaning. It gives a place its proper outline, even when the place itself cannot be visited.

The title, subtitle and coordinates line can be written as you wish, in Korean or English. Pick from Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand, and order either a printed poster or digital files.
