Crystal Springs Dam

About This Item

Photo of the Crystal Springs Dam located in San Mateo County, specifically depicting the dam face and overlying bridge.  This dam was the first "arch dam" built in California.  It predates the famous 1906 earthquake and was undamaged from it despite being within 1/4 mile of the San Andreas Fault (which experienced seven feet of offset at this location, but running parallel to the dam).
