Clubs in region:
The Northern California Borderland Basins are a collection of mostly offshore basins in northern California. It extends from near Monterey, California, to the Oregon-California state line. It includes the Santa Cruz, Bodega, Point Arena, Eel River, and Humboldt Basins. It is bordered on the north by the north end of the Eel River Basin, on the east by San Andreas and other fault zones that approximate the Pacific Coastline, on the south by the south end of Monterey Bay and the structural uplifts associated with the Kings City Fault Zone, and on the west by the base of continental slope. Sediments and sedimentary rocks probably extend for an undetermined distance to west of the western boundary of this basin but are not included in this discussion.
