Peking-Mukden Railway, which was 840 kilometers long, was the first railway in China. It took 31 years to build this railway, starting from the construction of Tangshan-Xugezhuang Railway in 1881. It could be taken as a microcosm of modern China's railway development. In the process of Chinese modernization, the development of modern transportation encountered huge resistance from the conservative force, so did the railway construction. Peking-Mukden Railway was extended section by section from Peking, the capital of the Qing Empire to the alternative capital Mukden. On the distribution of geographical space, the route trend of Peking-Mukden Railway was affected by many factors, including political, military, economic and geographic conditions as well as social customs. The research, with the aid of GIS, will position and overlap the related original old topographic maps (including the prewar topographic maps made by Japan) at a large scale, abstract the geographic information of the old railway lines, city walls, canals, royal hunting ground, and discuss the relationship between the railway development and various factors. In addition to the map materials, the study will compare with other historical data and examine the influence of the aforementioned factors on the development of Peking-Mukden Railway.
Key words: Peking-Mukden Railway; historical geography; topographic maps; GIS; railway history
