Geological Information System (GIS) is a tool which is used in different Areas to subside the human effort. The GIS was earlier developed to maintain the geological data of earth, but during the time GIS is used in different areas for research. The purpose of the study is to utilize GIS technique in the field of geotechnical engineering in different work like preliminary survey, availability of digitize Soil data of location, topographic survey. Due to availability of GIS, data can easily digitize according to the geographical coordinates. The satellite imageries of Nagpur city are collected from Earth Explorer a digital platform for researchers to access the satellite images of any Location. This satellite images are Landsat 7 ETM+, these images are later used to form composite image to develop Landuse Landcover map.
