February 9, 1971, San Fernando Earthquake. Demonstrating the vulnerability of the modern urban society to the damaging effects of a nearby earthquake. Oblique aerial view of collapsed highway over- passes and bridges at the interchange of the Foothill and Golden State Freeways. Because the earthquake occurred early in the morning, only three deaths resulted from this damage. However, the principal highway link between northern and southern California was temporarily cut, and traffic had to be re-routed for several months. See also California Earthquake image 005. Photo by R. E. Wallace. Los Angeles County, California. 1971. Published in U.S. Geological Survey Professional Paper 1360 as Figure 2-B. 1985.

Slide description and index card: Aerial view of the Mount St. Helens crater and eruptions from the north and northwest. E, By April 10, eruptions were coming from a single circular vent (shown by an arrow on published photo only) in the lowest part of the crater and almost directly below the position of the crater first seen on March 29. Traces of what probably was another, but now-dormant, vent can be seen to the right of the active vent, here steaming weakly. The active vent was about 30 feet across. Skamania County, Washington. April 10, 1980. (Photo by John Whetten). Published as Figure 14-E in U.S. Geological Survey. Professional Paper 1249. 1982.
