    The central element is the 1:25,000 geological map; the rest are called peripheral elements. The peripheral elements are: the legend of the cartographic units, the conventional signs, the stratigraphic columns, the geological sections, the stratigraphic relationship diagram, the geological diagram and the complementary diagrams. The geological map shows the distribution of different types of rocks that emerge on the surface of the earth and their relative arrangement. It allows us to deduce much of the arrangement of rocks in the subsoil and to learn about the geological history of a region. It is a two-dimensional graphic representation that allows us to make extrapolations in three dimensions or, even, four if time is considered, depending on the level of reading that is made. It is formed by a set of cartographic units limited by contacts and by symbols that represent other geological elements: surface dip, folding structures, subsoil information (isopachs or isobaths of the Quaternary), slope of recent deposits, morphological indications, landslides and other recent processes, deposits, etc. It also includes symbols of various references (geological sections, drillings, names of major geological structures, etc.).

    The Map for the Prevention of Geological Risks is a document that represents the geological hazard of the territory at a scale of 1:25,000. It is a multi-hazard map, which offers an overview of the hazards identified in the territory. The territory is zoned, for each hazard considered, into high, medium and low hazard, and is represented according to traffic lights. The symbology used allows the type of phenomenon causing the hazard to be identified, while the phenomena and indicators of this hazard are represented.

    The Geoanthropic Map is a cartographic document with applied geothematic content in which the current state of the physical constitution of the territory is represented, at the appropriate scale for territorial planning, as a result of anthropogenic action on the geological environment and the geological conditions for human activity. It reflects those geological elements and processes that directly affect or may directly affect human activities, together with those human activities or actions that modify the morphological characteristics of the topographic surface or that may directly affect the physical properties and behavior of the natural terrain. The Geoanthropic Map includes elements typical of a geomorphological map, while, in the Anglo-Saxon sense of the term, it makes an inventory of natural geological processes and artificial interventions in the geological environment. It classifies natural processes according to their activity and orders them according to the areas of generation of the materials involved, the transport mechanisms, the areas of deposition and the characteristics and geological properties of the deposits. Similarly, it classifies artificial elements and deposits according to the activities that have generated them, to which they give or have given service. This map also includes geotechnical determinations, such as a map of lithological groups and structural elements, the degree of consolidation, the degree of weathering, the degree of rippability and other geomechanical properties of the materials.

    Continuous digital hydrogeological cartography 1:25,000 is a set of geothematic information related to the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of groundwater, the environment that contains it and the associated hydrogeological elements such as wells, piezometers, springs and water mines.

    Delimitation, location and attributes of the elements of geological interest identified in Catalonia that are included in the Inventory of Areas of Geological Interest of Catalonia published in 2000 and updated in 2020 and of those that have been identified in other inventories or scientific and informative publications. Spaces of geological interest are places of interest for their unique and/or representative nature, which allow the study and interpretation of the origin and evolution of geological domains, including the processes that have shaped them, the climates of the past and its paleobiological evolution; and constitute the geological heritage of a territory.
