Photo Information

Mammoth geothermal development at Casa Diablo Hot Springs, Long Valley caldera, California
Photograph by S.R. Brantley on July 28, 1998

A view looking west over the Casa Diablo Hot Springs and the Mammoth geothermal power facility (which produces 40 Mw of electrical energy). Mammoth Mountain is the dominant peak on the skyline, and the jagged peaks to the right of Mammoth Mountain are the Minarets. The Casa Diablo Hot springs are just beyond the power facility along the western edge of a down-faulted block at the southwestern margin of the resurgent dome. The low ridge in the middle right of the photo marks the western edge of the down-faulted block.
