Several Python applications have been used to adapt the paper map-based geological classical information to numerical geological maps represented in HTML files. The models include a map with the stratigraphic and structural contacts and symbols, five serial vertical sections, and a geological block diagram, all with real topography. This block diagram made with 2D figures allows a 3D visualization. Palomeque area (Murcia region, southeastern Spain) has been used as a key-case. This area consists of a deformed Upper Cretaceous to Oligocene succession belonging to the Internal Zone Malaguide Complex. The main structure consists of two thrust-fold sheets forming an imbricate system, also affected by a set of strike-slip faults with a sinistral regime. The constructed maps show a good agreement with the published classical geological maps and cross-sections demonstrating the benefits of using these Python applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"881\" height=\"448\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.ua.es\/westerntethys\/files\/2023\/09\/palomeque.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-555\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.ua.es\/westerntethys\/files\/2023\/09\/palomeque.png 881w, https:\/\/blogs.ua.es\/westerntethys\/files\/2023\/09\/palomeque-300x153.png 300w, https:\/\/blogs.ua.es\/westerntethys\/files\/2023\/09\/palomeque-768x391.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 881px) 100vw, 881px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Cite as: Bullejos, M. and Mart\u00edn-Mart\u00edn, M.
