Footnote:  Although National Geographic is well known today for its maps and atlases, the magazine did not actually create its own maps during the first 27 years of its existence. Instead, the magazine got whatever map supplements it published from government agencies, such as the War Department, in the case of this 1904 map of Korea and Manchuria.
