Figure 8.1 Shaded relief map showing major faults and topographic features in California and western Nevada. Fault
traces are from Jennings (1994) and Oldow (2003). SAF, San Andreas Fault; HF, Hayward Fault; CF, Calaveras Fault; GF,
Garlock Fault; SGF, San Gabriel Fault; EF, Elsinore Fault; SJF, San Jacinto Fault; ECSZ, Eastern California Shear Zone;
OVF, Owens Valley Fault; DVF, Death Valley Fault; CNSB, Central Nevada Seismic Belt. SWL, CWL, and NWL are the
southern, central, and northern Walker Lane, respectively. Box shows location of Fig. 8.8a. Map was constructed using
the same topographic data and methods as in Fig. 7.1.
