OTHER NOTES: The Arrastre Canyon Narrows fault is the main fault within a zone of northeast-trending faults in the northern San Bernadino Mountains that has had a complex history, with different slip motions at different times, depending upon the local tectonic environment. This fault zone has seen strike-slip, normal, and reverse displacement during its "lifetime", but does not appear to have broken at the surface in the last 100,000 years.
