China Coast and Korea Wall Map - Published 1953 by National Geographic
Armistice Aftermath & Maritime Frontiers — China Coast & Korea Wall Map (1953)
Published by National Geographic in October 1953, just months after the Korean War armistice, this sheet captures the Chinese littoral and the Korean Peninsula at a pivotal moment in modern history. Issued to accompany “Our Navy in the Far East,” it presents a crisp coastal portrait—cities and ports, islands, shorelines, and key transport corridors—rendered with the clean, authoritative cartography that defined the era.
More Than a Map – A Post-War Time Capsule
Beyond décor, this is a reference to shifting post-war realities across East Asia. It rewards close study of coastlines, settlements, and maritime approach routes, and is ideal for historians, educators, designers, naval enthusiasts, and collectors seeking a faithful 1953 vantage on the region.
