Summary/Abstract: In this paper the author presented attempts at applying selected GIS methods for verification and visualization of H. Klatkowa’s paleogeomorphological concept (1965, 1972, 1996). Conducted research confirmed the existence of verge steps in the morphometric image of the region and also showed a high precision of archival cartographic materials. Studies also show that the SRTM-3 digital elevation model, apart from visualization, can also be used to some extent for geomorphometrical analyses
