Ecological mapping allows to analyzing the ecological situation and its spacio-temporal variability. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to collect, analyze and interpret information on environmental factors affecting human health and ecosystems, as well as to create a geographically correct cartographic representation based on the obtained environmental information. Cartographic research method allows clearly understand ing the degree of contamination of surface water by chemical elements. The object of the study is a salt lake located in Ayagoz district on the border of East Kazakhstan and Almaty regions. Surface water samples were taken at three stations of the reservoir at different times of the year. With the help of cartographic modeling, conclusions were made about the change in the spatio-temporal variability of the content of strontium ions, boron, aluminum and lithium in salt waters.
