Abstract

The area chosen for this study don't have a systematic  geomorphological mapping in a semi-detailed scale. According this gap, the purpose of area geomorphological characterization of the Serra da Canastra and surroundings, using as theore cal support the methodological proposals by Valeriano (2008), Florenzano (2008), Borges et al. (2007), Ross (1992), Silva (2012) and Casseti (2005), aiming to realize geomorphological subdivision of the study area. Besides the theoretical support were also used techniques of geoprocessing, to process and obtain information. As a results of this procedure were  generated a map of morphostructural units, from the geological analysis; morphoesculptural , from the analysis of the topography and roughness of the shaded image;  structural lineaments and rugged forms, using image interpretation and ultimately, the map of geomorphological subdivision being derived from such previous maps, allowing  to understand the overall organization of regional relief and major active morphogenetic  processes.
