contents This article explores the connections between graph-theoretical and topological approaches in the study of the Jordan curve theorem for grids. Building on the foundational work of Rosenfeld, who developed adjacency-based concepts on $\mathbb{Z}^2$, and the subsequent introduction of the topological digital plane $\mathbb{K}^2$ with the Khalimsky topology by Khalimsky, Kopperman, and Meyer, we investigate the interplay between these perspectives. Inspired by the work of Khalimsky, Kopperman, and Meyer, we define an operator $Γ^*$ transforming subsets of $\mathbb{Z}^2$ into subsets of $\mathbb{K}^2$. This operator is essential for demonstrating how 8-paths, 4-connectivity, and other discrete structures in $\mathbb{Z}^2$ correspond to topological properties in $\mathbb{K}^2$. Moreover, we address whether the topological Jordan curve theorem for $\mathbb{K}^2$ can be derived from the graph-theoretical version on $\mathbb{Z}^2$. Our results illustrate the deep and intricate relationship between these two methodologies, shedding light on their complementary roles in digital topology.
