A rift valley created by the San Andreas Fault contains the Crystal Springs Reservoir, a pair of artificial lakes in the northern Santa Cruz mountains in San Mateo County, California. The reservoir was built and originally owned by the Spring Valley Water Company and was later deeded to San Francisco. Water is piped into the reservoir from Hetch Hetchy and from the Pilarcitos Creek and Alameda Creek reservoirs. This aerial photograph shows the San Andreas fault as it runs toward Point Reyes. Interstate 280 and the San Francisco International Airport are on the right.
