Using the digital Atlas “Baikal region: society and nature” as an example, a sequence of cartographic analysis of geosystems has been developed, consisting of a specific number of stages for obtaining the final target result, which can serve later as an element of information for solving management and environmental problems. Based on MapInfo Professional GIS products, a unified inventory and information base for the thematic cartographic module was formed from geographically dispersed maps of geosystems created earlier for individual sections of the Lake Baikal basin. Methods of polysystem cartographic analysis of landscapes and interpretation of geographical information were used to determine the structural components of physical and geographical information for various purposes. Small-scale maps of the Baikal region, developed in a certain sequence on the basis of a structural and hierarchical classification, reflect the natural conditions, and the environmental and value functions of geosystems that are important for making structural, geographical and managerial environmental decisions.
