The present article has as objective detaches the main stages for production of the mapping geomorphologicof the basin of Doce river of 83.465 km², with the use of data SRTM (Shuttle Radar TopographyMission) and tools of GIS proposing a more detailed and updated classification of the basin in scale1:100.000. The result of the study came extremely satisfactory, because it allowed, not just, to know thestructure better, modeled them, as well as, to identify the principal processes that operate inside the basin,being shown as an important one instrumental of support in the execution of several planning categoriesand administration, to example, of the basins hydrographic.
