Abstract

A detailed geomorphological map is presented for a portion of a poorly investigated mountainous region of the Dry Frontal Andes and Western Pre-Andes of San Juan province around 30°S latitude. This map shows the presence and extension of landforms and geomorphic processes in an area of 2175.9 km-super-2 and is the result of detailed aerial photograph and remotely sensed data interpretation, including digital elevation models, supported by field survey. The landforms have been distinguished according to morphogenetic criteria, into: (i) glacial landforms; (ii) periglacial landforms; (iii) mass movement landforms; (iv) fluvial landforms: (v) polygenic landforms and (vi) neotectonic landforms. The objective of this map is to provide information on the landforms present in the selected area, allowing it to be used as a baseline for the study of landscape evolution or support guidelines for territorial management and planning.
