This research is about the cartography representation, by using RUSLE model, (ArcGis) and remote sensing (RS), it is presented the cartography model for water soil erosion in Twaswran basin, it is located at east of Kurdistan region of Iraq, north of Slemani governorate and west of Pshdar district, in the corrugated mountain area. In the astronomical site, it is located between into two latitudes (36° 13' 7" - 36° 22' 58") of north and between two longitudes (44° 48' 32" - 45° 0' 10") east. The area of the basin is about (159.16 km2). The main goal of this paper is using (RUSLE) model estimated water erosion and loss amount of soil, and determined the place that got water erosion and loss of soil, with the amount of erosion and showing the cartography for water erosion and loss of soil. We are dividing the paper for three parts: (Water erosion by using RUSLE equation), finding RUSLE variables and presentation the result of RUSLE equation. Our results by RUSLE model are selected that rain is a main role in the soil erosion with the other natural and human variables, the amount of water erosion in the place of research between (1.2 – 79.3 tons, hectare per year), and total year erosion is about (143.9 tons).
