  • The continuous and digital Permeability Map of Spain at a scale of 1:200.000000 is based on the continuous Lithostratigraphic Map of Spain at a scale of 1:200.000 and represents the mapped lithostratigraphic levels grouped by similar permeability values. In order to carry it out, firstly, a legend was drawn up in which a degree of permeability was assigned to each mapped lithostratigraphic unit. Five types of permeability were established: Very high, High, Medium, Low and Very low. The different lithologies were associated into 7 large groups (carbonate, detrital, Quaternary detrital, volcanic, metadetritic, igneous and evaporitic), giving rise to a classification by types of aquifers, established according to the formation processes of each permeability. This map clearly shows the hydrogeological domains with a predominance of calcareous and evaporitic, detritic and crystalline aquifers, highlighting the main peninsular and island structural lines that bring the different groundwater bodies defined into contact with each other. This cartography is adapted to the hydrographic network and the shadow model produced by CEDEX, at a scale of 1:200,000, based on 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 Cartographic Units Information Layer (LPIT) and the external table dat table, which assigns to each lithostratigraphic formation (FH) the degree of permeability as well as the colour of representation. The format of the generated information is Shape file.

  • 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.

  • This Map depicts the materials or rocks that appear on the surface of the sheet, their spatial distribution, nature and geometric relationships. The cartographic units are chronostratigraphic groupings, with common lithology and age formed by strata which are called formations, groups or members; other non-stratified ones such as granites are represented. The structural relationships between them are expressed by symbols, which gives the map a three-dimensional character completed by additional geological profiles. These are the graphic expression of the deep geometrical arrangement of the units shown on the geological map. Applied information such as water points, mineral deposits and indications, presence of fossils and other elements of point representation are added by means of symbology. The printed sheets include geological sections, columns of the main zones or units and various diagrams (regional geological and tectonic diagrams, both at a scale of 1:1,000,000). The nominal scale of the series is 1:200,000, but in the island territories it has been produced at a scale of 1:100,000. The digital information, geological map 1:200,000, chronolithostratigraphic legend and legend of geological symbols, is stored in coverage format (ESRI). There is a guide reflecting its organisation and codification. The IGME is responsible for the execution of this series of cartography, which it finances with its own resources. The creation of this cartography is based on the compilation of existing information, mainly MAGA cartography at a scale of 1:50,000, doctoral theses and other research work.

  • 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.

  • 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 Castellón, 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 Commerce 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 Castellón 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 is made up 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.

  • The Geological Map of the Iberian Peninsula, Balearic and Canary Islands or Geological Map of Spain at a scale of 1:1,000,000 is a map developed by the Geological Survey of Spain (IGME) on a cyclical basis since its foundation, being the 1995 version the first to be digitised. This map is an infrastructure of homogeneous and global geological knowledge of a geological unit of continental scale such as the Iberian Peninsula. The map contains the chronolithostratigraphic units with representation of the tectonic structure by means of faults and thrusts. It is also accompanied by two chronolithostratigraphic legends (Peninsula and Balearic and Canary Islands) and the conventional signs. Each of the geological units has an associated description, the dominant rock types and the chronostratigraphic age with precision down to the Flo, when available. There is no difference between the contacts of the map units, all of them being considered as lithological contacts, with the exception of those that are the product of faults. The map is consistent with a topographic base at a scale of 1:1,000,000 prior to the BCN 1000 of the IGN, which is only available in paper format. The geological information on the Iberian Peninsula and the Balearic Islands is in UTM projection, zone 30, Postdam datum. The information on 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.
