Directions:
From Highway 101 in Santa Barbara, exit at the Mission offramp, turn right
and proceed two blocks to Modoc Road; turn right and proceed about one quarter
mile to Portesuelo Avenue which bounds La Cumbre Jr. High. Point P01 has
been destroyed; P02 is on Po rtesuelo, about 200 m south of its intersection
with Modoc Road.
Comments:
This line crosses the buried trace of the Mesa fault in Santa Barbara. The
fault is not known to be active, although unsubstantiated local history places
the 1925 Santa Barbara earthquake on the fault.
Results:
All of the bench marks are located in curbs, and only minor, nonsystematic
changes of heights among the bench marks have been observed, suggesting relative,
nontectonic shifts among the curbs.
