Abstract

We examine the methodological procedures and results of landscape mapping of the southern and central regions of Middle Siberia. Geoinformation mapping was accomplished by using the vector topographic basis and Earth remote sensing data. Inter pretation of synthetic satellite images was done in manual mode and was based on field landscape surveys. Digitizing and index ing of landscape contours, and generation, montage and layout of the map were done in MapInfo Professional GIS. The landscape structure of the territory is reflected by using a classification of geosystems based on the system-hierarchical principles with the regard for the positioning of the territory in the system of the physical-geographical regionalization. The lower unit of geomers in mapping was represented by a group of facies, and some groups of facies include, along with natural geosystems, their agro genic analogs. The groups of facies were combined into classes of facies, geoms and groups of geoms.
