| Sumario: | This paper seeks to make accessible the geological language used in technical maps, and to represent cartographically, in a simplified and representative form, geological elements of Rio Grande do Norte (RN) state. This was achieved through manipulation and generalization of spatial data contained in the Geological Map of RN, 1:500,000 scale, produced by the Geological Service of Brazil, in 2006. To create the simplified cartographic material, the use of GIS as a tool for integration and analysis of geological and cartographical knowledge was key. Thematic cartography concepts were also applied, seeking to better represent data available. Cartographic products produced were the Simplified Geological Map of RN, scale 1:500,000, and different inserts in 1:2,500,000 scale. These maps are available in printed and digital format in the context of a GIS. The maps produced can be used by students, researchers, managers and decision-makers, to understand the physical environment. |
