Directions:
From Santa Barbara, proceed north on Gibralter Road (USFS 5N25) about 5 miles
to its intersection with Camino Cielo; thence east about 5.5 miles to its
intersection with Romero Canyon Road at Romero Saddle; thence east about
5 miles to Juncal Campground on the Santa Ynez R iver; thence east through
a locked gate about two miles to Juncal Dam and Jameson Lake.
Comments:
This is a short line of 8 bronze pins on the top of a wing dam section of
Juncal Reservoir, 16 miles north of Carpinteria. According to Dibblee (1986)
the wing dam is constructed across a strand of the Santa Ynez fault.
Results:
Three levelings are plotted in an accompanying figure and show that bench
mark B15 the north part of the wing dam rose 40 mm relative to the remainder
of the bench marks, whereas B11 subsided about 60 mm. These fluctuations
may be due to the fact that the wing dam is constructed in separate sections
which may rise and fall relative to each other, although 60 mm seems like
a rather large amount of play in a dam.
