Overview

Excerpt from Some Hot Springs of Southern California: Their Origin and Classification In the changes that took place along the fault line the Perris Valley was raised slightly; the San Bernardino Range was raised much more; and the San Bernardino valley sank until portions of it were below sea level. Other Crustal Changes. Many other crustal movements occur along this remarkable fault line that are important and worthy of study. For example, a crustal movement lifted a ridge or an irregular arched wrinkle, along the line of the Bad Lands which separate San Timoteo Canyon from the San Ja cinto Valley. This fold can be traced on the surface to Bunker Hill. It exposed the beds containing rare fossils of the same animals as those of Rancho La Brea, these beds are just north of Eden. Hot Springs. This fold also is an important factor affecting artesian wells around San Bernardino. The Age of the Hot Springs. The waters of the Arrowhead Hot Springs, and of others on these fault lines, began to flow soon after the fissures were formed. In other words the hot springs are as Old as the San Bernardino Range itself. That means that the hot springs are Older than Niagara Falls, older than the Pyramids of Egypt, Older than the Big Trees of the Yosemite, and older than the aboriginal Cave-man. They are just as permanent as the mountain itself. This brief summary of a study of the origin of some of the hot springs of southern California suggests that the geologic study of all the hot springs Of the State should be made for the benefit Of the people.
