California Earthquake Faults

View approximate California fault lines and their distance from a chosen location.

Our take

Useful for general geological orientation

Regional views and named map lines make selected faults easier to find.

Keep in mind: It excludes the older Quaternary class and earthquake-event locations; distance to a mapped fault does not predict an earthquake or certify property safety.

What you can do

  • Interactive fault-line map
  • Nearest fault names/distances
  • Bay Area/southern/state views and custom location

Good for

  • California residents exploring the stated geology coverage

Consider alternatives for

  • Earthquake prediction, early warning or property hazard certification

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: iOS 16.6.
  • It excludes the older Quaternary class and earthquake-event locations; distance to a mapped fault does not predict an earthquake or certify property safety.
