Nowadays, there is an increasing need for accurate soil spatial data to be easily shared and used between the soil science communities. This study aimed to present the role of remote sensing and geographic information system as effective tools for land use land cover interpretation. The investigated area was a part of Eastern Sohag, Egypt with an area of 204km2. Landsat7 ETM+ multispectral satellite image and Google earth image were used for visual interpreting of the land use land cover (LULC) of the study area. Digital elevation model was extracted from the image and generated in a map using ArcGIS-10.1 software. The area was classified depending on its elevation in six mapping units viz, Wad floor (61.82km2), Low elevated sand sheet (30.07km2), High elevated sand sheet (31.05km2), Bajada (27.47km2), Piedmont (27.45km2) and Table land (26.54km2). Supervised classification was done for the area of study using ENVI-5.0 software. Land used land cover interpretation was done which soil, vegetation, water bodies and built-up areas were identified easily. These results can be used as a guide for decision makers and stake holders for better planning and agricultural land management. Remote sensing (RS) and geographic information system (GIS) as promising techniques should be strongly recommended for different fields of soil studies.
