There was no displacement of points 40 miles west and east of the fault 



zone. 



A gravity profile across Fairview Valley and the interpreted geology 

 are shown in Fig. 31.20 (Thompson, 1959). The valley fill is about 1 mile 

 thick, and the topographic relief of the adjacent range is about 1 mile, 

 so that Thompson concludes a total cumulative vertical displacement of
