The PeV gamma ray background produced in the interactions of ultra high
energy cosmic rays with the ambient matter and radiations during their
propagation in the Milky Way has been calculated in this paper. If the primary
ultra high energy cosmic rays are produced from Galactic point sources then
those point sources are also emitting PeV gamma rays. We discuss that the
detection of galactocentric PeV gamma rays in the future would be a signature
of the presence of EeV cosmic accelerators in the Milky Way.
