Summary

This dataset is composed of linear active tectonic and other relevant features (scarps, deflected drainages, and lineaments and contrasts in topography, vegetation, and ground color) mapped based on high-resolution topography, aerial/satellite imagery, and field observations. The mapping covers the area surrounding the 2019 Ridgecrest, California earthquake surface ruptures. Point locations of field observations are also included.

Purpose

This project was done in order to improve the previously incomplete active fault mapping in the Ridgecrest area and assess whether the causative faults of the 2019 earthquakes could have been more comprehensively identified prior to the 2019 surface ruptures.
