The Diablo Range does not border San Francisco Bay. It borders the Central Valley. Tmangray 21:06, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

That's true. The closest it gets to the bay is in Contra Costa, where it comes within 7 mi of the coast. By the time it reaches Alameda and Santa Clara, it is already 10-12 mi inland. I used to live in Alameda county, and I did a lot of hiking, so I know this stuff. I am getting a source though, should be here soon. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fodo96

If the range extents all the way into the Antelope Valley wouldn't it also include the Temblor Range and parts of the Transverse Range? Also if you're going by the USGS description, CA-46/CA-41 wouldn't cross south of the range at all. They both cross the range on the Central Coast coming no where close to the Antelope Valley.

If true, I think you'd be justified in making the necessary edit. Tmangray 16:29, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

USGS usually doesn't screw up that bad, but they sure did here, by not clarifying. The Diablo Range most certainly does not reach the Antelope Valley as in the famous valley containing Palmdale and Lancaster -- it reaches the Antelope Valley (Western Kern County) here. It's the broad flat area near the junction of California State Route 33 and 46 at Blackwells Corner. Lost Hills separate it from the main part of the San Joaquin Valley.

Devil Range?

Nobody calls it that. It's just a literal translation from the Spanish and contributes nothing. Say good bye. Kortoso (talk) 19:43, 18 April 2016 (UTC)
