This book was released on 2015-07-04 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Geology of the Breckenridge Mountain Quadrangle, California Sir: I have the honor to transmit herewith Bulletin 168, Geology of the Breckenridge Mountain Quadrangle, California, prepared under the direction of Olaf P. Jenkins, Chief of the Division of Mines, Department of Natural Resources. The report is accompanied by a detailed colored geologic map together with cross sections, charts, and photographs of the area which lies in the southern Sierra Nevada about twenty miles east of Bakersfield in Kern County. This map and its report represent one of the results of the Division's program of basic geologic mapping. The senior author, T. W. Dibblee, Jr., has mapped not only this Breckenridge Mountain quadrangle, but has mapped many other areas in the state, including western Santa Barbara County and the Saltdale quadrange, published by the Division as Bulletins 150 and 160 respectively. The junior author, Charles W. Chesterman, a staff member of the Division, sampled the complex rocks of the area and made a petro-graphic study of them to supplement the field investigation. The Breckenridge Mountain quadrangle contains gold mines and also tungsten deposits north of Walker Basin. In the southwestern part of the quadrangle, wells were drilled for oil and two of them have produced small amounts of heavy petroleum. The earthquakes of 1952, which caused severe damage in the area of Arvin and Tehachapi, were, caused by earth movements along the White Wolf fault. This and other major faults are actually shown on Breckenridge Mountain quadrangle. Bulletin 168 should provide basic information for mining, for the development of oil fields, in the study of other natural resources, and in structural engineering problems.
