Abstract
The geobotanical mapping of territory in the upper reaches of the Bureya River was carried out. Zonality, general diversity, and territorial ratio of vegetation classes, as well as location on relief (landscape) and dynamic vegetation series, are represented on the map of actual vegetation cover. Mapping as a research method, as a rule, leads to a higher level of understanding of basic peculiarities of an object. The map as a result of research reflects clearly basic peculiarities of an object in accordance with the map scale or demonstrably shows the shortcomings of the conducted study.
