The Cartographers Mapping North Korea's Hidden Geography
Original: Cartographers of North Korea (2019)
A 2019 project documenting the cartographers who map North Korea has resurfaced in discussion. The work explores how the country's geography is charted despite limited access and scarce official data, shedding light on the people and methods behind maps of one of the world's most closed nations. Readers are sharing it as an unusually detailed look at a rarely covered subject.
Why now: The project is being recirculated because it offers a rare, detailed look at how a secretive country gets mapped.
