This document describes a study that digitized the master plan map of Gorakhpur City, India and created various thematic maps using geospatial techniques. The master plan map was georeferenced and digitized in ArcGIS. Thematic layers for land use/land cover, drainage, transportation, slope, contour, and lithology were produced from satellite imagery and DEM data in ArcGIS and ERDAS Imagine. These vector layers were converted to raster maps. The digitized master plan map and thematic maps allow for easy updating, analysis and planning of Gorakhpur City.
