Carrizo Plain National Monument.


San Andreas Fault goes through Carrizo Plain National Monument. This sag pond along the San Andreas Fault is located along the south boundary of Carrizo Plain National Monument (along the Soda Lake Road). The fault runs north along the east flank (left) of the distant Elkhorn Hills (a pressure ridge) in the vicinity of MU Ranch.

Soda Lake in Carrizo Plain. Soda Dry Lake is a playa (an ephemeral lake) at about 1,908 feet in elevation. The lakebed receives water during wet winters and rare late summer monsoon storms. The modern saltpan covers about 3,000 acres and is one of the largest undisturbed alkali wetlands in California.
