<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">The purpose of this study was to produce a multifaceted presentation of a small region. It was realised based on two aims: the collection of spatial and statistical data, and the analysis of the data from the perspective of physical and socio-economic geography. Mrozy commune (Polish – <italic>gmina Mrozy</italic>) is located in the eastern part of the Masovian voivodeship, in the county of Minsk (Polish – <italic>powiat miński</italic>).The initial stage involved obtaining data from various sources. The second phase concerned the assessment of the data’s quality. Next, appropriate visualization methods were selected; the authors used cartographic techniques for data presentation, resulting in a set of thematic maps at a scale of 1:100,000. The final part of this research concerned the evaluation of the results and the verification and correction of errors.The accuracy of the maps for this small area has been checked and the maps will be made available to the local authorities.</abstract>
