The sandstone plateau of the Houet province (Hauts-Bassins region) constitutes the southeastern edge of the Taoudéni sedimentary basin. This study on geomorphological mapping is conducted there. It is clear that mapping is nowadays a tool of choice in morphological studies in general and geomorphological studies in particular. The existing geomorphological maps of the sandstone plateau of the Houet province are on a small scale and therefore insufficiently detailed. A large-scale map shows sufficient detail on the geomorphological units of the study area. This study aimed to produce a large-scale geomorphological map of the sandstone plateau of the Houet province.
