Abstract :Dalaman Agricultural Enterprise, located in the southeast of Muğla province, was established in 1935 as a subordinate of the State Agricultural Enterprises Institution. Field agriculture has an important place in the enterprise, which has an area of approximately 33630 decares. In addition, there are citrus plants in irrigated farming areas in the enterprise. The most important data source for the operating lands is the report “Study and Mapping of Dalaman State Production Farm Soils”. Environmental data and soils of the study area are handled in the report. The maps of the enterprise lands were digitized in the GIS, the soil series and important phases were determined and various thematic maps were produced. Maps created and the soil properties are a summary of the Dalaman Plain soils. The results obtained will be a base map for the studies to be carried out in the region.
