Description
According to text under the title blocks, “this preliminary map is published to satisfy the urgent demand for an up-to-date, comprehensive fault map of California.” It continues to explain the production process, and assure the reader that “later maps will be more legible.”
One would hope, as the finely detailed image is a confusing mix of colorful fault lines, topographic contours, symbols and place names. The accompanying legend provides some clarification, but assumes the audience has a basic understanding of seismology.
The map was compiled by Charles W. Jennings in 1973 and published by the California Division of Mines and Geology under the Department of Conservation. It uses a base map issued by the U.S.G.S. in 1970.
