The cartographical method of research of a botanical diversity of mountain territories with use of remote sensing data is carried out on the example of the West Altai. It has shown possibilities of an assessment of cenotic aspect of diversity on the basis of the coordinated taxonomical units of vegetation through structure of a vegetation cover. On a large-scale map (s. 1:50 000) of Tigireckij ridge highlands regularities of the spatial organization of vegetation of subalpine and alpine belts on the basis of homogeneous units and heterogeneous types of vegetation according to ecological and topological factors are determined. On a survey small-scale map (s. 1:2 000 000) the typological diversity of vegetation characterizing the general high-rise regularities of a vegetation cover of the West Altai and its regional specifics has found display.
