Abstract
Geological and geomorphological mapping of the southern border of the Madrid basin shows that the piedmont deposits derived from the Toledo crystalline plateau and the Los Yebenes syncline merge with the adjacent Miocene basin facies. The Los Yebenes valley is drained by the headwaters of two river systems, the Milagros that flows west and the Algodor that runs east. The watershed separates two distinct piedmont facies related to contrasted local basin environments, with acid chemical conditions prevailing in the west and alkaline (carbonate-dominated) to the east of the Toledo Mountains. The prevailed forms and their associated deposits reveal an inflexion of the morphodynamical basin conditions, which neither is synchronically or equal of effective for the entire region
