Geologic Map of Bhutan Category: Open
Featured in the Journal of Maps in 2011, this geological map presents a newly compiled 1:500,000-scale representation of Bhutan, along with neighboring areas in India and southern Tibet. Assembled from the most recent and comprehensive mapping datasets available at the time, it offers a significantly enhanced level of structural detail compared to earlier geological maps of the region. Bhutan’s geology is broadly categorized into four major lithological units, arranged from south to north: the Siwalik Group, the Lesser Himalayan Zone, the Greater Himalayan Zone, and the Tethyan Himalayan Zone. Alongside this, the antiformal tectonic window exposing Lesser Himalayan units with the Greater Himalaya, and the synformal klippe of Tethyan Himalayan units—both regarded as characteristic structural features of the Himalayas are also mapped in the Bhutanese Himalaya.

Landslide Inventory Map of Bhutan Category: Open
This inventory contains field-verified landslide point data collected between 2020 and 2025 from 15 Dzongkhags across Bhutan. The database was developed through remote sensing interpretation and field verification, with surveys focusing on landslides that pose risks to settlements, transportation networks, and critical infrastructure. The inventory shows a higher concentration of landslides in southern Bhutan, particularly in Samtse and Samdrup Jongkhar, while fewer landslides were recorded in Trashiyangtse and Lhuentse. The greater occurrence of landslides in the south is associated with fragile geology, major fault and thrust systems, and intense monsoonal rainfall. In contrast, many landslides in the northern and central regions are linked to road construction and other infrastructure development activities. The inventory provides a baseline dataset for landslide hazard assessment, susceptibility mapping, risk analysis, and disaster risk reduction planning in Bhutan. Limitations: The inventory primarily includes landslides with observable impacts on settlements and infrastructure. Due to accessibility and logistical constraints, some remote areas were not comprehensively surveyed. Future updates will incorporate these areas to improve the completeness of the database and strengthen landslide hazard assessments across Bhutan.

Soil Depth Map of Bhutan Category: Common
This dataset provides spatial information on soil depth of Bhutan. The map was generated through reconnaissance soil survey of agricultural land of Bhutan. The resolution of this map is at 30 meters, however, please use it with caution as the uncertainty level is high in some places, especially in forested area due to collecting samples only from agricultural land and also, the ground truthing is currently in progress.

Soil Potassium Map of Bhutan Updated (Version 2.0) Category: Common
This map provides spatial information on available soil potassium content in Bhutan. The resolution of the map is at 250 meters, however, please use this map with caution as there could be high uncertainty in some areas, especially in forested areas due to limited samples from forested region and also, the ground truthing exercise is in progress. This data is to provide general overview of available soil potassium content in Bhutan.
