Excerpt from Geology and Mineral Resources of Santa Ysabel Quadrangle, San Diego County, California The Santa Ysabel quadrangle lies along the east edge of the composite Peninsular Ranges batholith of Creta ecoas age. The oldest rocks are Triassic schists which occur as small roof pendants and as one large body in the vicinity of Julian. Jurassic gneissose quartz dio rite is intimately mixed with much of the schist, the two making a complex into which were intruded various members of the Cretaceous batholith. These intrusions are limited to gabbro and several tonalites. Structural features of the igneous rocks suggest that emplacement may have been accomplished by stoping in some places and by forceful injection in others. Pleistocene continental gravels occur as remnants of a once continuous extensive blanket in the northern portion of the quadrangle.

This volume provides a non-technical overview of the structural and historical geology of the San Diego region. This work guides travelers in the field via interpretive road logs keyed to the post mile marker system. The authors review San Diego's current landforms, seismic environment, and mineral resources with particular emphasis on its natural division into three geomorphic sections -- coastal, mountain, and desert. They also outline the geologic and fossil history of the county as a whole from its origin hundreds of millions of years until about twenty million years ago. Major tectonic plate realignment then differentiated the evolution of the coastal plains and beaches from the Salton Trough deserts are treated separately with the coast and the desert, from Neogene through Quaternary time.
