This paper describes the principles of a new method for three-dimensional mapping of geological basic data from boreholes and wells. This method is developed by the Geological Survey of Denmark and uses cyclograms for graphical illustration of borehole records in stead of bar diagrams.The procedure and the technical tools for construction of the cyclogram and the map are described. Advantages and disadvantages of the method compared with other mapping methods are discussed.For illustration of the method a map of about 350 sq.km with more than 500 well-record-cyclograms is enclosed.
