. Bulletin of the United States Geological Survey--The Santa Clara Valley, Puente Hills and Los Angeles Oil Districts. PUENTE HILLS: WHITTIER FIELD. 113 The southern, in the eastern half of the field, reeeives at an acutetingle the axis of an anticlinal fold, which in the region of the Chandlerwells is conspicuously developed in the Fernando formation to thesouth of all recognized fault planes. The northern break is traceablebut a short distance to the east; but in alignment with it, a mile dis-tant, is a sharp crumple in Puente strata. West of the Murphy-Cen-tral region the fault zone resulting from the union of the fractures thusdescribed passes immediately north of the productive wells of theFidelity, Turner, and Home companies and thence toward the westsnd of the hills. The block between the two faults just mentionedinvolves both the Fernando and Puente formations. The foregoingdetails derive their chief interest from their possible bearing on theDccurrence and yield of petroleum in the region discussed.
