With the extensive adoption of computer technology in geology and geophysics, computer graphics becomes more and more important. For the purpose of improving quality and efficiency, several software should be combined in practical work. In this paper, some basic characteristics of Surfer and MapGIS are discussed, and their application in geological field is described from the angle of geological mapping, thus drawing forth the necessity of the conversion between Surfer and MapGIS. The general method and steps for the conversion of maps between Surfer and MapGIS are presented in detail, and several problems concerning the conversion and corresponding solutions are emphatically discussed.
