conspicuous and beautiful ranges of
southern California, supplies water for
the irrigation Of large part OF the foot
hill valleys. According to the United
States geological survey, department Of
the interior, the range is a long uplifted
fault block-that is, a section OF the
earth's crust that has been forced up

downthrown areas, On leaving San Der
nardino the traveller can view the great
mountain amphi- theatre, with its mum
erous ranges and peaks, which lies north

of the great range which extends south
