San Andreas Lake

San Andreas Lake is a supply contiguous the San Francisco Peninsula urban communities of Millbrae and San Bruno in San Mateo County, California. It is arranged specifically on the San Andreas Fault, which is named after the valley it is in. Initially a little normal list lake, the lake was extended by the development of a 100 foot high earth dam in 1868. The dam survived the 1906 tremor in spite of the way that the blame runs specifically under the dam. In 1895, Professor Andrew Lawson of the University of California, Berkeley, gave the name of the lake on the quake blame he found in its region.

Development of the 1868 dam would have caught salmonids, for example, coho salmon and beach front rainbow trout as both stream inhabitant and steelhead living things, both known to have been truly present in the San Mateo Creek watershed. San Mateo Creek once facilitated coho salmon as confirm by examples gathered by Professor Alexander Agassiz of Hard University in the 1860s. The authentic nearness of coho salmon is additionally recommended in a 1877 portrayal by Charles Hallock: "Pilarcitos, one of the Spring Valley Water Company's repositories, is currently all around loaded with reasonable estimated trout, and San Andreas, predominantly with silver salmon of for the most part direct size".
