DETAILED MAPS OF THE FAULT SYSTEM [c2, p19]

The U.S. Geological Survey and the California Division of Mines and Geology have prepared numerous detailed maps of the faults within the San Andreas fault system. Maps prepared by the California Division of Mines and Geology address the problem of "active faults" as defined under the Alquist-Priolo Special Studies Zones Act of 1972. These maps, too numerous to list here, were indexed and described by Hart (1985); they constitute a rich data set about the San Andreas and other faults in California. Those readers interested in examining the features of the fault system in more detail or in the field are referred to the published "strip" maps and special fault maps, an index map of which is in Figure 2.6.
