Wheeler Ridge Anticline
What pushes it upward?
1952 Kern County earthquake
was centered under Wheeler Ridge
& raised it over 1 foot.

So many compressional faults?
Notice how the SAF is mostly
north-south lateral movement?
But not at the BIG BEND!

Edmonston Pumping Station
The BIG LIFT
raises the water up and thru
the Tehachapi Mountains
