Intensity map and structural damage, Parkfield, California earthquake of June 27, 1966

SEISMOLOGICAL FIELD SURVEY, U.S.C. & G.S.ESSA, 390 MAIN STREET SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA

Abstract

The isoseismal map indicates that the main shock of the Parkfield, California earthquake series on June 27, 1966 was felt over an area of approximately 20,000 square miles, and that the maximum Modified Mercalli scale intensity of VII was limited to a small area near the San Andreas fault zone in the vicinity of the Parkfield and Cholame. In this area an acceleration pulse of 0.5g was recorded. However, damage to homes, pipe lines, bridges and other structures was not severe.
