Geologic Gems of California's State Parks
STATE OF CALIFORNIA – EDMUND G. BROWN JR., GOVERNOR NATURAL RESOURCES AGENCY – JOHN LAIRD, SECRETARY CALIFORNIA GEOLOGICAL SURVEY DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND RECREATION – LISA MANGAT, DIRECTOR JOHN D. PARRISH, Ph.D., STATE GEOLOGIST DEPARTMENT OF CONSERVATION – DAVID BUNN, DIRECTOR PLATE 1 The rugged cliffs of Del Norte Coast Redwoods State Park are composed of some of California’s Bio-regions the most tortured, twisted, and mobile rocks of the North American continent. The California’s Geomorphic Provinces rocks are mostly buried beneath soils and covered by vigorous redwood forests, which thrive in a climate famous for summer fog and powerful winter storms. The rocks only reveal themselves in steep stream banks, along road and trail cut banks, along the precipitous coastal cliffs and offshore in the form of towering rock monuments or sea stacks. (Photograph by CalTrans staff.) Few of California’s State parks display impressive monoliths adorned like a Patrick’s Point State Park displays a snapshot of geologic processes that have castle with towering spires and few permit rock climbing. Castle Crags State shaped the face of western North America, and that continue today. The rocks Park is an exception. The scenic beauty is best enjoyed from a distant exposed in the seacliffs and offshore represent dynamic interplay between the vantage point where one can see the range of surrounding landforms. The The Klamath Mountains consist of several rugged ranges and deep canyons. Klamath/North Coast Bioregion San Joaquin Valley Colorado Desert subducting oceanic tectonic plate (Gorda Plate) and the continental North American monolith and its surroundings are a microcosm of the Klamath Mountains The mountains reach elevations of 6,000 to 8,000 feet. -

Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area Geologic Resources Inventory Report
National Park Service U.S. Department of the Interior Natural Resource Stewardship and Science Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area Geologic Resources Inventory Report Natural Resource Report NPS/NRSS/GRD/NRR—2016/1297 ON THE COVER: Photograph of Boney Mountain (and the Milky Way). The Santa Monica Mountains are part of the Transverse Ranges. The backbone of the range skirts the northern edges of the Los Angeles Basin and Santa Monica Bay before descending into the Pacific Ocean at Point Mugu. The ridgeline of Boney Mountain is composed on Conejo Volcanics, which erupted as part of a shield volcano about 15 million years ago.

Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area comprises a vast and varied California landscape in and around the greater Los Angeles metropolitan area and includes 64 km (40 mi) of ocean shoreline. The mild climate allows visitors to enjoy the park’s scenic, natural, and cultural resources year-round.

Data on California's Extreme Rainfall from 1862- 1995
Data on California's Extreme Rainfall from 1862- 1995 By Jim Goodridge PO Box 970 Mendocino CA 95460 707 937 4709 June 29,1996 Prepared for: 19% CALIFORNIA WEATHER SYMPOSIUM Theme: "A prehistoric Look at California Rainfall and Floods" Sierra College Science Center, 5000 Rocklin Road, Rocklin, CA 95677 Introduction Prehistoric storms sculpted Earth's landscape and left evidences of their effects every where we look. Prehistoric storms eroded 10,000 feet of the top of the Sutter Buttes and filled the Sacramento Valley on the west side three miles deep with alluvial sediments. Among the condominiums of Incline Village they left boulders that could only have been deposited between houses by debris flows. Debris flows generally have the density of newly mixed concrete and move at about the speed of a freight train. Debris flows are a major force in sculpting Earth's land surface. All rainfalls when they hit the ground pick up minerals and modify the landscape. Significant sever storms can be quite localized and of short duration. They often fall between the measurements from our rain gage network and even now might still qualify as prehistoric. Sometimes we can find the sudden peaks in the stream flow records to tell us of their existence; if we are lucky. This is an account of some of the measured storms within the memories of recent California inhabitants. Some of these storms have remarkably large return periods (Map 1). They are not limited to the windward slopes like winter time orographic storms, (Map 2) they occur randomly distributed geographically as well as by season. -
The Sutter Buttes: Attachments to the Land
The Sutter Buttes: Attachments to the Land Antonio E. Valdes Humboldt State University Abstract The Sutter Buttes are an isolated group of lava domes jutting out of California’s flat Central Valley. They are a publicly valued icon, and have been compared to natural wonders such as Crater Lake and Yosemite, but unlike those icons, access into the Buttes is currently limited to authorized individuals and private landowners (Martin 1991). In 2003 the California Department of Parks and Recreation (State Parks) purchased 1,785 acres in the northern portion of the Buttes (CapRadio 2007). However, because the property is surrounded entirely by private land, the park is currently not available for public use (Rogers 2013). As a result, State Parks has offered many of the surrounding landowners exorbitant prices for their properties, with the intention of augmenting these properties to the park. By doing so, the state hopes to eventually border a county road, thus making the park accessible to the public. However, as of yet, no landowners have sold their properties to the state. This research investigates landowners’ sense of place, and, more specifically, reveals that a positive sense of place is a strong factor in- fluencing a number of the landowners’ decisions to retain the titles to their properties. The Sutter Buttes’ prominence above the surrounding plains, their near- ly perfect circular arrangement, and their geologic distinctiveness from other mountain ranges makes them anything but normal. Indeed, the physical features of the so-called “smallest mountain range in the world” are unique, but it is the human decisions surrounding these physical features that have allowed the Buttes to retain their character as an undeveloped rangeland. -
Terrestrial Mammal Species of Special Concern in California, Bolster, BC, Ed., 1998
Terrestrial Mammal Species of Special Concern in California, Bolster, B.C., Ed., 1998 147 Watch List Accounts Salinas ornate shrew, Sorex ornatus salaries Paul W. Collins Museum records of S. o. salarius extend from the vicinity of the mouth of the Pajaro River (Watsonville Slough), Santa Cruz County (Rudd 1948), south along the immediate coast to Carmel (Von Bloeker 1939). This subspecies was originally described as inhabiting coastal salt-marshes and adjacent sandhill areas in the vicinity of Monterey and Carmel bays, Monterey County (Von Bloeker 1938, 1939). According to Williams (1986), it occupies riparian, wetland and upland terrestrial communities in the vicinity of the Salinas River Delta. The capture of 61 ornate shrews near the Salinas River mouth in July 1990 with 700 trap-nights of effort suggests that S. o. salarius may still be common in the area (J. Maldonado pers. comm.). More recent data than these on the distribution and status of this subspecies were not available during the preparation of this document. Although the Salinas ornate shrew has a restricted distribution in a region under pressure from urban and agricultural developments, it occupies a diversity of habitats, and much of the remaining coastal salt marshes within its geographic range are protected from development. Recent surveys indicate it is still common. Rudd (1948) and Junge and Hoffmann (1981) questioned the currently accepted taxonomy of ornate shrews from the vicinity of Monterey Bay. A more extensive range-wide genetic and morphologic evaluation of ornate shrews is currently under way (Maldonado pers. comm.). Results of that study should help to clarify whether ornate shrews from the vicinity of Monterey Bay warrant subspecific recognition. -
