 Earthquake Facts
In northern and central California, the plates slide reasonably smoothly past each other because the alignment of the plate boundary (the San Andreas fault) is essentially parallel to the relative motion of the plates.
In southern California, the plate boundary is not so simply oriented; there is a bend in the San Andreas fault, often referred to as the "Big Bend." This barrier to simple right-lateral motion creates immense stresses within the crust of southern California, and over the millenia, the rocks have responded by deforming or breaking.
Using data gathered on southern California earthquakes in January 1932, Charles F. Richter made a graph (at left) of the logarithm of maximum amplitude versus epicentral distance from all the seismic recording stations that existed in southern California at that time.

Big Bend National Park was created in 1944 to preserve a portion of the Chihuahuan Desert, an ecosystem that otherwise goes largely unprotected in Texas and Mexico.
The park features broad expanses of Chihuahuan Desert shrubland and grassland interspersed with smaller areas of high-elevation woodland in the Chisos Mountains, near the center of the park.
Big Bend may appear pristine, but historical land uses have caused extirpation of several native species, considerable soil erosion, and a general decline in the condition of both natural and cultural resources.

 Viscoelastic coupling model of the San Andreas fault along the big bend, southern California
The big bend segment of the San Andreas fault is the 300-km-long segment in southern California that strikes about N65 °W, roughly 25° counterclockwise from the local tangent to the small circle about the Pacific-North America pole of rotation.
The discrepancy is explained by the viscoelastic coupling model which accounts for the viscoelastic response of the lower crust.
Thus the broad distribution of deformation observed across the big bend segment can be largely associated with the San Andreas fault itself, not subsidiary faults distributed throughout the region.

The Working Group on California Earthquake Probabilities [1995] in using geodetic data to estimate the seismic risk in southern California has assumed that strain accumulated off the San Andreas fault is released by earthquakes located off the San Andreas fault.
