Landforms and main trace of Hayward fault from Claremont Creek to UC Berkeley from a 1923 contour map. The arrows illustrate relative motion on either side of the fault. Abruptly steeper slopes above the fault-line are shown by close contour spacing (each contour is a 20 foot rise in elevation). Northward deflections of streams locate the faultline. "Mining Circle Creek" and "Hearst Creek are former channels of Strawberry Creek that have slipped 1800 feet and 2300 feet beyond Strawberry Canyon.
