Fig. 1, Oblique aerial view southeastward along Coyote Creek fault in San Jacinto fault zone, lower Coyote Canyon, 10 March 1981. ©AGS Fig. 2. Oblique aerial view southwestward along Coyote Creek fault in San Jacinto fault zone, 4 May 1991. Lute Ridge in center foreground, a fault-truncated alluvial fan, has been displaced right laterally about 1300-1500 m since 200-300 ka (R. Dorsey, pers comm., 2003). ©AGS
Fig. 3. Oblique aerial view northeastward across Coyote Creek fault in San Jacinto fault zone, September 1990. Fault nearly coincides with straight lineament through center of image. ©AGS
Fig. 4 Oblique aerial view northward of Coyote Creek fault in San Jacinto fault zone, September 1990. Straight mountain front with faceted spurs demarcates fault trace. Nearly same view as in Fig. 6. Smaller canyon in left center of image is also in Figs. 6, 7, and 8. ©AGS.
Fig. 5. Oblique aerial view northeastward across Coyote Creek fault in San Jacinto fault zone, 28 March 1991. Faceted ridge spurs across central part of image delineate fault trace. Small of two canyons in left center of image is same as in Figs. 4, 6, 7, and 8. Light snow dusts top of mountain plateau. ©AGS.
Fig. 6. Oblique aerial view northward across Coyote Creek fault in San Jacinto fault zone, September 1990. Straight mountain front with faceted spurs demarcates fault trace. Nearly same view as in Figs. 4, 5, 7, and 8 with smaller canyon in left center of image. ©AGS.
Fig. 7. Oblique aerial view of Coyote Creek fault in San Jacinto fault zone, 10 March 1981. Vegetation aligned from left to right across center of image delineates fault trace which cuts one-third of way up small canyon. ©AGS
Fig. 8. Oblique aerial view northeastward across Coyote Creek fault in San Jacinto fault zone, November, 1991. Fault cuts small canyon about one-third up its length. Note right-laterally displaced stream
