View downward onto site with maximum observed lateral displacement along the Lavic Lake fault. Here a vehicle track and dry creek bed are laterally offset by approx. 370-480 centimeters. The orientation of fractures here is nearly North-South.

Cracks on far side of wash; called 'en-echelon' breaks where they step sideways.

Southeast of maximum displacement site. Here we see 3-4 meters of right-lateral slip have offset a ridge and created a 'shutter' ridge blocking flow in the dry creek channel. The white vertical surface is the fault scarp.

Fracture cutting across the countryside (left to right) such that the fault scarp is lit up by the sun, appearing as a bold white line.

View towards south across Lavic Lake, with the surface rupture running from lower right to upper left. In the middle distance on the right is an ancient lava flow.
