Summary

This geologic map database is comprised of new geologic mapping, at a 1:24,000 scale, along the southern Bartlett Springs fault in the northern California Coast Ranges. The map covers an area of 258 square miles in Lake, Napa, Colusa, and Yolo counties, work was undertaken between 2016 and 2021, and supported by the USGS National Cooperative Geologic Map Program. This geodatabase contains the most up-to-date and highest resolution mapping in the region. Results and observations reported here help elucidate the geologic deformational history, as well as relationships between active older and active structures. Please consult the map pamphlet and description of map units for a detailed presentation and interpretation of data and discussion [...]

Purpose

Mapping was driven by the need to understand the distribution of rock types along the southern Bartlett Springs fault as well as the most-recent active uplift and strike-slip faulting in the region. This portion of the Bartlett Springs fault zone as well as the northern Berryessa fault is geometrically complex, involving several step-overs, and many micro seismicity clusters. These fault zones represent significant seismic hazards to local communities as well as near-by locations in the greater San Francisco Bay Area. The map serves as a base to develop future three-dimensional structural models of the area, in conjunction with geophysical surveys. Information in this database may be used for fault hazard assessments as well as natural resource development.
