The landscape at the contact between the Rio das Velhas plain and the Serra do Espinhaço Meridional, in Minas Gerais (Brazil), is covered by the topographic maps of Corinto and Diamantina, integrated into the systematic mapping of Brazilian territory. This area boasts geological diversity accompanied by significant geomorphological and phytogeographical variations. It is therefore a spatial sample whose location is of interest to geographers interested in studying the environment. Based on the concepts of landscape and geosystems, instrumentalised through the use of three transects, three different geoecological models were applied using map algebra: morphodynamics, natural vulnerability to soil loss and natural and environmental vulnerabilities. From west to east, from the municipality of Corinto to Diamantina, four different geosystems emerge, the last of which is made up of three geofacies, with specific geoecological behaviours that confirm the geosystem's spatial differentiation.
