Jeomgok Sedimentary Rocks is created in the Cretaceous Lakes of the Mesozoic Era. It is mainly composed of shale or siltstone. It appears as an eroded cliff along the riverside called Micheon and it is interpreted as the influence of geological tectonic lines. Since artificial ice walls were temporarily created and operated, they are also called Sachon Ice Walls, Jeomgok Ice Walls and Oksaguagol Ice Fields. To the east of this village is the Sachon Traditional Village and there is Sachon-ri Garosup (Natural Monument No.: 405) with the size of 1,040m×40m, which was artificially created around 1390 to block the wind blowing from the west of the village.
