This large <br /> basin, which contains in excess of 25, 000 of sediments,[ extends <br /> [ from Red Bluff on the north to the Transverse Ranges on' the <br /> south. The sediments have been derived primarily from erosion of <br /> the Sierra Nevada Batholith to the east; they have been'. period <br /> ically reworked and redeposited by the many rivers and 'streams in � t <br /> the area. The surface elevation is between 5 ' & 10 ' , ,with the <br /> regional gradient to the west at about 5' /mile.
