The invention relates to the technical field of geological prospecting, in particular to a surveying and mapping device for geological exploration. The surveying and mapping device comprises a mounting frame, wherein clamping strips are fixedly mounted at the two ends of the bottom part of an inner cavity of the mounting frame, a surveying and mapping instrument body is clamped to the top parts ofthe clamping strips, and telescopic rods are fixedly mounted at the upper ends and the lower ends of the two sides of the inner cavity of the mounting frame. Through the arrangement of the mounting frame, the clamping strips, the surveying and mapping instrument body, the telescopic rods, a spring, a clamping plate, a first top plate, a second top plate, a first connecting plate, a first magneticblock, a second connecting plate, a mounting groove and a second magnetic block, the surveying and mapping device solves the problems that an existing surveying and mapping device for geological exploration is inconvenient to mount and fix a surveying and mapping instrument, the surveying and mapping instrument is directly placed at the top part of the surveying and mapping device in a traditional installation mode, when the surveying and mapping instrument is uneven and is used, the surveying and mapping instrument is prone to falling off due to external reasons, and the instrument is proneto damage and cannot continue operation.
