In this paper an attempt has been made to study of mapping of the geomorphological land forms, using remote sensing and GIS techniques in the coastal part of East Godavari District, Andhra Pradesh, India on 1: 50,000 scale. The Godavari delta, is termed as the rice bowl of Andhra Pradesh and second longest river 1465 km in the country spreads over an area of about 5100 sq km on the east coast of India bordering the Bay of Bengal and is a densely populated zone of intense economic activity, Fed by a large 312,812 km2 drainage basin .The total study area is 1856.19 sq kms. The data used supervised classification was preferred for the best identification of features. Major features are Bay, Beach, coastal plain, Deltaic plain, fluvial plain, pediplain, river, tidal creek and forestUsing LISS III IRS P6 data.In this classification coastal plains are 402.32 sq km, Deltaic plains covers 719.15 sq km , flood plains 49.69 sq km marine land forms of Bay, Beach,Beach ridge, and river, brackish water, etc., are formed along the coastal areas are present in the table1(1).
