The Dominguez Hills, California, earthquake of June 18, 1944*

SAMUEL T. MARTNER

CALIFORNIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY,, PASADENA, CALIFORNIA

Abstract

Two small earthquakes on June 18, 1944, were felt generally in the Los Angeles metropolitan area and did slight damage in the region of Compton and Gardena, California, which included collapse of sixteen wells in the Rosecrans oil field. Epicenters of these shocks have been determined to be near 33° 51' N Lat. and 118° 15' W Long., with origin times at 4:03:34 P.M. and 7:06:06 P.M., P.S.T. This occurrence is compared with a previous happening in 1941, and the parallel is so striking that it is strongly suggested that the mechanism was similar in both.
