The area taken into study is located in the Transylvanian-Someș depression which is individualized compared to the surrounding regions from the morphological point of view, with hills and broad valleys accompanied by terraces. In lithological terms, there are present the sedimentary rocks, especially clays, marls, sands, sandstones and limestones. The area has a relatively dense population and has many settlements, roads, crops, etc. The main objective of this work is the use of geographic information systems to obtain a comprehensive database to assist in the creation of thematic maps of the Someș Mic loodplain (drainage direction map, soil map etc.), maps that are useful in agriculture and can be continually updated to re lect the current situation in the ield. In order to obtain these thematic maps was necessary to create the primary database by entering the data into the computer from existing cartographic products. These data were entered in numerical form by scanning them at the speci ic scale. The data necessary for creating these thematic maps were collected from topographic maps, soil maps and the geological map containing the area of interest. For achieveing the objectives of this paper were conducted the following steps: making the spatial support through scanning, georeferencing spatial support, vectorization of the spatial support, creating the alphanumeric database and at the end elaborating thematic maps for the area thaken into study.
