Abstract
Horizontal displacement of surveyed points during 1932-1959 have been analyzed to determine strains. The east-west trending, north-dipping Buena Vista Hills thrust fault divides the area. The direction of greatest contraction trends generally normal to the fault near it on the north block; elsewhere this component tends to parallel the trace. Magnitudes of principal strains vary spatially from 300 . 10 (super -6) to -5000 . 10 (super -6) . An east-west zone of contractive dilatation exists about the thrust trace. Field observations compatible with this geodetic data are given. Overthrusting and underthrusting have occurred at the east end of the trace. On the west, however, both blocks are moving north, but the south block has moved more. The method applies only to two-dimensional problems; the data are Cartesian components of a limited number of points.
