Map showing the chronolithostratigraphic units of the Region of Murcia grouped by the different structural domains present in the region, accompanied by the tectonic structure expressed by faults and traces of folding structures. On the Neogene and Quaternary units, the different facies present in each of them have been differentiated, reflecting the sedimentation domain and system, the geomorphological unit and the lithology.

Map with the chronolithostratigraphic units of the Valencian Community accompanied by faults and folding structures. It is a unified geological synthesis based on IGME maps of this territory at 1:200.000 and 1:50.000 scale.

The Lithological Map of the Iberian Peninsula, Balearic and Canary Islands at a scale of 1:1,000,000 is a map produced by the Geological Survey of Spain (IGME) based on the Geological Map of the Iberian Peninsula, Balearic and Canary Islands published in 1995. The cartographic units represented in it have been established using lithological criteria, with the lithological association defining the limits of each unit. The geological information on the Iberian Peninsula and the Balearic Islands is in UTM projection, zone 30, Postdam datum. The information for the Canary Islands is in UTM projection, zone 28, datum Pico de las Nieves. The map is distributed free of charge in shape format through the IGME website.

The Permeability Map of Spain at a scale of 1:1,000,000 is the Hydrogeological Map of Spain at a scale of 1:1,000,000, classified according to permeability. Permeability is represented by colours, while lithostratigraphy or hydrogeology is represented by symbolisation of the materials. It is a synthesis of the permeable hydrogeological formations and aquifers at national level, resulting from the systematic studies carried out by the IGME until 1991 on the hydrogeological characteristics of the territory of Spain, determining the location of the aquifers, evaluating their degree of exploitation, hydrodynamic characteristics, resources and reserves, and the quality and contamination of their waters. The map has been drawn up by the Geological Survey of Spain in compliance with its specific functions. It covers the national territory of the Iberian Peninsula, the Balearic Islands and the Canary Islands. The first edition of the Hydrogeological Map of Spain at a scale of 1:1,000,000 corresponds to 1991. A second edition was produced in 1999, incorporating the Hydrogeological Units of Spain into the hydrogeological map.

Map with the chronolithostratigraphic and igneous units of the province of Badajoz grouped together as a support for the mapping of mineral resources in the province. The contacts between the different cartographic units have been classified as "stratigraphic contact" and "intrusive contact". The tectonic structure is expressed by faults.

The Hydrogeological Map of Spain at a scale of 1:1,000,000 presents the geological units classified according to their hydrogeological character, based on the surface permeability of the outcrops. The hydrogeology is represented by symbolisation of the materials. It is a synthesis of the permeable hydrogeological formations and aquifers at national level, resulting from the systematic studies carried out by the IGME until 1991 on the hydrogeological characteristics of the territory of Spain, determining the location of the aquifers, evaluating their degree of exploitation, hydrodynamic characteristics, resources and reserves, and the quality and contamination of their waters. The map has been drawn up by the Geological and Mining Institute of Spain in compliance with its specific functions. It covers the national territory of the Iberian Peninsula, the Balearic Islands and the Canary Islands. The first edition of the Hydrogeological Map of Spain at a scale of 1:1,000,000 corresponds to 1991. A second edition was produced in 1999, incorporating the Hydrogeological Units of Spain into the hydrogeological map.

Map with the chronolithostratigraphic and igneous units of the province of Cáceres grouped together as a support for the mapping of mineral resources in the province. The contacts between the different cartographic units have been classified as "stratigraphic contact" and "intrusive contact". The tectonic structure is expressed by faults.

The continuous lithostratigraphic map of Spain in digital format at a scale of 1:200,000 represents the cartographic units characterised mainly according to lithostratigraphic and hydrogeological criteria. The criteria maintained to consider their cartographic representation are to maintain those units that present an important lithostratigraphic development, both for their representation and their singularity, also incorporating those that show a high hydrogeological interest, either because of their lithological nature (high permeability) or because they are considered to form an essential part of the definition of the aquifer. The contacts between the cartographic units represented were normal, unconformable and intrusive contacts. Faults, thrusts and folding structures are represented. Thus, a continuous map has been obtained in digital format, in which there are still areas with a higher density of cartographic information than others, either because they come from synthesis maps made with less general criteria than these, or because for their preparation, smaller scale cartographies (e.g. 1:50,000) have been used, thus obtaining a much richer and more detailed cartography. This map is the basis of the permeability and hydrogeological maps of Spain at a scale of 1:200,000 continuous and in digital format. This cartography is adapted to the hydrographic network and the shadow model made by CEDEX, at a scale of 1:200,000, from the topographic base, at a scale of 1:50,000, of the Army Cartographic Service. The cartographic information is referenced to coordinates in UTM projection, European Datum, zone 30, except for that corresponding to the Canary Islands, which is referenced to zone 28. The map is made up of the following information layers: Cartographic Units (LPLIT), Contacts and Fractures (LPCYF) and Folding Structures (LPEST). The format of the information generated is Shape file.

The map of the island of La Palma includes volcanic and sedimentary units separated by different types of contacts: undifferentiated between formations, between lava flows of the same formation and intrusive. The different units have been grouped into different categories according to their genesis, structure and arrangement, such as eruptions, edifices or volcanoes. The direction of the flow lava flows is shown by means of the corresponding symbology. Tectonic processes are shown as faults and recent local features as active slumps. Additional information includes mineral deposits and indications, archaeological sites and other volcanic elements of specific representation. The map is accompanied by the chronolithostratigraphic legend and conventional signs.

Map showing the geological units classified according to chronostratigraphic and lithological criteria from the point of view of mineral resources. Each cartographic unit has an associated description and geological age. The geological and tectonic structure is represented by faults, thrusting and folding structures. This map, which covers the entire province of Alicante, has been drawn up by the Geological Survey of Spain as part of the "Basic Master Plan for the Natural Mineral Resources of the Valencian Community", the result of the Singularised Collaboration Agreement between the Department of Industry and Trade of the Valencian Regional Government and the IGME in the field of research and management of the natural mineral resources of the Valencian Community. The agreement was signed in 2000, and work began that same year. The geological mapping of the province of Alicante was completed in 2002. It was carried out using the existing geological cartography of the Geological Map of Spain at a scale of 1:50,000, MAGNA, and the available geological cartography at a scale of 1:200,000. The information is in coverage format (ESRI) and consists of a file with the cartographic units, contacts and faults, a file with the folding structures, a file with the lithostratigraphic legend and a file with the conventional geological symbols. The geological description, the geological age and the representation codes of the geological units can be found in three tables.
