Abstract: Work is devoted to questions of subdivision of the territory according torrential activity that is carried out on the basis of the analysis of geological and geomorphologic factors of a mud-stream torrent formation. Ranged sites are allocated by the genetic principles. In the first part theoretical aspects of drawing up maps are considered. On the analysis results a set of special maps of the area, a subarea, a zone and regions of a sill formation are allocated that allow to estimate extent of impact of torrential processes on mountain landscapes of KBR.

Keywords: natural hazards, mudflow territories, sill manifestations, torrential process, geodynamic potential, geoenvironmental risk, the geological and geomorphological division into districts, ranged sites, factors of formation of mudflows, engineering-geological formations and litologo-structural complexes of rocks.
