Chilwon is located in the northern part of Gangwon Province in the central part of the Korean Peninsula, at the junction of the Taebaek Mountain Range and Gyeonggi Province, with the terrain dominated by mountains and hills, and the average elevation is high. Historically, Cheolwon's proximity to the 38th parallel made it a strategic location in the Korean War, and the Battle of Cheolwon in 1951, one of the key battles of the latter part of the war, is still preserved as a historical site. Local agriculture is based on dry farming and animal husbandry, with corn, potatoes and other crops grown, and abundant forest resources. As a transportation node connecting the North and South, Cheolwon County is connected to its neighboring regions by railroads and highways, but due to the overall economic level of the DPRK, the development of infrastructure is relatively lagging behind. The climate is temperate monsoon, with four distinct seasons, a long, cold winter and a short, warm summer.
