Elevations range from 500 to 10,834 feet (152 to 3,302 m). Summary Report: Fault Evaluation Program, 1976 Area - Western Transverse Ranges, Kern, Los Angeles, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara and Ventura Counties, California, 1977 (Order by map name) Official Maps of Seismic Hazard Zones, Los Angeles County, scale 1:24,000 [color map]. The Transverse Ranges are a group of mountain ranges of southern California, in the Pacific Coast Ranges physiographic region in North America.The Transverse Ranges begin at the southern end of the California Coast Ranges and lie within Santa Barbara, Ventura, Los Angeles, San Bernardino, Riverside and Kern counties. Transverse Ranges. Jaye Ellen Up De Graff, Bruce P. Luyendyk, Gravity study of the boundary between the western Transverse Ranges and Santa Maria Basin, California, Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 10.1029/JB094iB02p01817, 94, Along with my collaborators, Michele Cooke (), Gareth Funning (UC Riverside), and Susan Owen (Jet Propulsion Lab), we have created 3D mechanical models of active tectonics in the complex western Transverse Ranges of southern California.
The Peninsular Ranges (also called the Lower California province) are a group of mountain ranges that stretch 1,500 km (930 mi) from Southern California to the southern tip of the Baja California Peninsula; they are part of the North American Coast Ranges, which run along the Pacific Coast from Alaska to Mexico.
