Characterized in brief are the results of natural plague foci passportization carried out in the late XX century. Evaluation of the principle of formalized spatial differentiation between enzootic territories is made. The principle can guarantee high degree of data ordering, obtained in the process of epizootiological surveillance. Therefore, prospects of a new stage of plague foci passportization based on GIS-technologies are viewed, the strategy is determined, and methodological approaches for its realization are put forward. Large-scale implementation of digital topographic maps and global positioning system into the work of plague control organizations is accentuated.
