Axis of anticline - Approximately located; dotted where concealed. Arrow
indicates direction of plunge.
Fault - Solid where accurately located; long dash where approximately located;
short dash where inferred; dotted where concealed; queried where location is
uncertain. U = upthrown block, D = downthrown block. Arrow and number
indicate direction and angle of dip of fault plane.

Unit Explanation
Active wash deposits within major river channels (Holocene) - Composed of
unconsolidated silt, sand and gravel.
Alluvial and colluvial deposits, undivided (Holocene) - Located on the floors of
valleys; includes active stream deposits in hill slope areas; composed of
unconsolidated sandy clay with some gravel.
Alluvial fan deposits (Holocene) - Deposited by streams emanating from mountain
canyons onto alluvial valley floors; deposits originate as debris flows, hyper-
concentrated mudflows, or braided stream flows; composed of moderately to
poorly sorted, and moderately to poorly bedded, sandy clay with some gravel.
Landslide deposits (Holocene to late Pleistocene) - Includes numerous active
landslides, composed of weathered, broken up rocks; extremely susceptible to
renewed landsliding, including their head scarp areas.
Pico Formation, undivided (Pliocene) - Composed of claystone, siltstone, and
sandstone; locally pebbly; generally susceptible to landsliding.
Alluvial deposits, undivided (late Pleistocene) - Consists of semi-consolidated silt,
sand, clay, and gravel.
Alluvial fan deposits (late to middle Pleistocene) - Semi-consolidated poorly sorted
gravel, boulder, sand, silt and clay; often form elevated, slightly tilted, terraces on
hill slope areas.
Sisquoc Shale (Pliocene-Miocene) - Silty shale and claystone; generally susceptible
to landsliding. Locally contains siliceous shale similar to the Monterey Formation.
Monterey Formation (middle and late Miocene) - Consists of siliceous and
diatomaceous shale and some sandstone and limestone; generally susceptible to
landsliding. Tml = lower section, containing punky thin-bedded shale; Tmu = upper
section, composed of platy brittle siliceous thin-bedded shale.
Rincon Shale (early Miocene) - Composed of shale and siltstone; generally
susceptible to landsliding.
Vaqueros Sandstone (early Miocene) - Consists of sandstone, locally calcareous.
Coldwater Sandstone (late Eocene) - Composed of hard arkosic sandstone with
siltstone and shale interbeds; locally reddish in color, similar to appearance of
Sespe Formation. Tcw-sh consists predominantly of shale.
Sespe Formation (Oligocene) - Composed of sandstone; locally pebbly, siltstone and
claystone; rocks are generally reddish in color.
Cozy Dell Shale (late Eocene) - Consists of micaceous shale with arkosic sandstone
interbeds; generally susceptible to landsliding.
Matilija Sandstone (middle to late Eocene) - Composed of hard arkosic sandstone
with micaceous shale interbeds.
Juncal Formation (early to middle Eocene) - Consists of micaceous shale with
arkosic sandstone interbeds; generally susceptible to landsliding.
Unnamed conglomerate (late Cretaceous) - Conglomerate with arkosic sandstone
and micaceous shale interbeds.
