Landslide complex at Mussel Rock Park in Daly City, San Mateo County, California

A massive landslide complex at Mussel Rock Park masks the main trace of the San Andreas Fault. Note the high, barren slump escarpment in the background. Ongoing coastal erosion at the toe of this slide area promotes the landward migration of the high wall of the landslide escarpment. Numerous homes have been destroyed, damaged, or condemned along this coastal landslide complex in Daly City. Part of the landslide complex was used as a landfill in the past.
