Just east of Vincent Gap, there are some decent actinolite specimens to be found and you can see what may have been the boundary between the Farallon and North American plates.

The counties this site covers are defined on this page – https://socalregion.com/introduction/ . Basically, north of Monterey, San Benito, Fresno, Inyo, and Kings County. It isn’t a direct line but made that way to more easily split the state for coverage.

There are some goregous rocks up there if you know where to look.
