This article presents the seppômen map technique through the computer application by using the free GIS software SPRING®. The methodology was applied to the study in the case of the geomorphologhical evolution of the Parana plateaux edges contained in the Faxinal topographic sheet – state of Paraná - Brazil, the results were the digital elevation models (DEM) and topographic shapes that leads to the landform evolution of the area both by differential erosion but also by strong tectonic control.
