It drew in Usando(Dokdo) closer to the Korean peninsula, indicating a strong belief in Korea’s ownership of the island.
Dokdo became the territory of Korea when Usanguk was annexed to Silla in 512(the 13th year of king Jizeung).

The Japanese Government presented this official map to US in claiming the ownership of Ogasawara island in the Pacific at the end of World War II.
According to the Samguk Sagi (History of the Three Kingdoms), the two islands of Ullung-do and Dokdo were called Usanguk and were ruled by Isabu who paid tribute to Shilla Dynasty King Chijung (in 512 A.D.).
Beijing supports Korea's claim pointing out that Dokdo was a tributary to the Shilla Kingdom as far back as 512 A.D. and that Japan admitted as early as 1667 that Dokdo was a Korean territory.

Meanwhile, Professor Kim Moon-gil of the Department of Japanese of the Pusan University of Foreign Studies disclosed to the public on Sunday an original map of the Korean peninsula produced by a leading Japanese geographer Shihei Hayashi in 1785.
On this map, the Korean peninsula is colored in yellow, and Ulleungdo and Dokdo, located 39 degrees north latitude, are marked as one big island (Usanguk) while the sea to the right is indicated not as the Sea of Japan but as the East Sea.
Professor Kim said, “The fact that Ullungdo and Usando (Dokdo) are marked as one big island proves that the Japanese people at that time acknowledged Ullungdo and Dokdo as Korean territory.” Professor Kim purchased this map in a vintage bookstore when he visited Japan last year.

As for your “why did the people of Usanguk call themselves Usanguk argument,” the reason would be that the name Ull??ngdo/guk did not exist when there were people living there calling their community Usanguk.
“Usanguk” existed in Silla times, and at that time the name Ull??ngdo did not exist.
If I were you I’d try to find instances of someone in the history of Chinese character-based East Asian cartography drawing two of the same place to show it had two different names - instead of just writing both names on the same place.
