North Korea Uncovered (Google Earth)

Using numerous maps, articles, and interviews I have mapped out North Korea by “industry” (or topic) on Google Earth.  This is the most authoritative map of North Korea that exists publicly today.

Agriculture, aviation, cultural, manufacturing, railroad, energy, politics, sports, military, religion, leisure, national parks…they are all here, and will captivate anyone interested in North Korea for hours.

Naturally, I cannot vouch for the authenticity of many locations since I have not seen or been to them, but great efforts have been made to check for authenticity. In many cases, I have posted sources, though not for all. This is a thorough compilation of lots of material, but I will leave it up to the reader to make up their own minds on the more “controversial” locations.  In time, I hope to expand this further by adding canal and road networks. 

I hope this post will launch a new interest in North Korea. There is still plenty more to learn, and I look forward to hearing about improvements that can be made.

DPRK Railway map: now on Google Earth

Tuesday, December 19th, 2006

Using various maps, legends and available photos, I have mapped out the entire North Korean railway system. Interesting highlights include special railway lines to large palaces in Sinuiju and on the east coast, the collection of railway lines around coal mines in the center of the country, and the railway line in Kaesong that crosses the DMZ to South Korea.

Turkmenistan

I just got back from visiting Turkmenistan with Koryo Tours.  I had a great time and have managed to identify most of the things I saw on Google Earth.  If you would like to live my vacation (via satelite images that are a couple of years old) click here (Updated on 12/30/2006) to download them onto your own Google Earth.
