In the sense of North vs. South it is Central.

East to West - The divisions would be The Sierra-Nevada, The Central Valley, and The Coastal Range(AKA The Pacific Crest).

Somewhere underneath Owens Lake? I live in Lone Pine for four years, and the biggest quake I remember was a little three-pointer...

The 20th year anniversary of the so called “World Series” earthquake is on the 17th IIRC.

Yeah, apparently Reuters only draws horizontal lines across California!  I would have changed the headline, but that is a no-no, as it messes up the FR search function.

Didn't "Scotty's Castle" have a vineyard?  ;-)

Somewhere on the Net, there is a very poignant story about a B-24 that made an emergency landing on the lake there, during WW2.

I think it's called The Death of a Corporal.
