Abstract

Abstract Owing 10 the advent of the Thematic Mapper with higher resolution, it has now become much easier to map various natural resources efficiently and accurately in a shorter period of time. In the work described in this paper an attempt has been made to prepare various soil and land resources maps by visual interpretation of a false colour composite from the Thematic Mapper at the average scale of 1:250 000 in conjunction with field checks covering an area of 340000 ha in the Malwa Plateau. The soil map was prepared in association with subgroup level and a total of nine soil mapping untits were established. Four physiographic units, seven land-use units and three waste-land mapping units were found to occur in the area during preparation of the respective map.
