Geology of the Fernando Pass Region

<p>Location of area: The Fernando Pass region is located in the low pass between the San Fernando and upper Santa Clara Valleys, and southeast of the town of Newhall. The bounding meridians are Lat. 34° 16' - 34° 22' 45" N. and Long 118° 28’ - 118° 32' W. The area includes...
