This photo was taken along SR-14 just south of the San Gabriel Fault near Golden Valley Road. This oil seep is natural and flows quite well. I include this in the Newhall section as it still lies within the Ventura Basin, an oil-rich sedimentary basin, while closer Canyon Country sits within the Soledad Basin, an oil-poor sedimentary basin.
