The northern zone of Bouaflé is located in the central part of the Bouaflé furrow, in the center of Côte d’Ivoire. This zone being highly lateritized, as in all tropical climate zones, a mapping from the regolith with a view to improving knowledge of the geology of the central part of the Bouaflé furrow was initiated. It was done using remote sensing and survey data carried out in the area. Thus, it emerges from this study that the regolith of the study area comes from the supergene alteration of the various geological formations observed and is characterized by a deep alteration profile with an average thickness of approximately 30 m with a spatial distribution of relict regolith, erosion, deposition as well as surfaces affected by widespread lateritization.
