The geotechnical charts are important tools for professionals that deal with planning and management of physical environment. They show how a particular phenomenon behaves spatially so the user can search the information desired that provides him support to take a decision. Actually many charts present some incoherencies on the representation of data due the great amount of information that charts would have to present. Therefore it is important that these charts have a adequate representation of the physical environment in order to have a legible cartographic language for its users. Thus, the aim of this research was the accomplishment of a cartographic representation proposal for geotechnical charts from the study of representation analysis of two distinct geotechnical chart methodologies most used in Brazil: IPT - São Paulo Institute of Technological Research and EESC/USP - São Carlos Engineering School/São Paulo University.
