Map of part of Hollister, California, showing the approximate alignment of the Calaveras fault. The dashed streets are alleys. The red dots refer to points of interest along the fault where the following photographs were taken. Anyone who is interested in earthquakes and studies their history and significance in California will eventually want to visit Hollister. Nowhere else is there a better example of fault creep than where the Calaveras fault slices through this town. On February 15, 2003 I made my pilgrimage. If you go to Hollister to see the fault features yourself, start by taking 4th Street to Locust Avenue and turn north (Watch for the street sign on the north side of 4th Street). After turning onto Locust Avenue you will see Vista Hill straight ahead. At the base of Vista Hill Locust Street turns left. After the turn the second house on the left is 164 Locust Avenue, where the tour begins.
