Abstract
The Landsat MSS and TM data in the form of false colour composite (FCC) prints at 1∶250,000 scale over parts of Mirzapur (U.P.) and Rohtas district of (Bihar) were interpreted monoscopically in concert with the collateral data and limited field check for soilscape boundary delineation. The study has revealed that at the mapping scale, except for improved image contrast and capturing features of relatively smaller dimensions, no additional advantage has been noticed with TM data over MSS data with respect to exhibition of soilscape boundaries. However, the capability of TM data to withstand enlargement upto 1∶50,000 which is not feasible with MSS data is an additional feature from soil mapping viewpoint.
