Wolf Valley
Wolf Valley is a graben rift valley in western Riverside County, California.
Wolf Valley is one of the graben valleys making up the Elsinore Trough, created by the Elsinore Fault Zone. It lies between the Wildomar Fault on the east, at the foot of the Temecula Basin and the Willard Fault on the west, at the foot of the Santa Ana Mountains. Wolf Valley lies south of Temecula Creek, and North of the Elsinore Valley, from which it is divided by a low rise between the Temescal and Santa Ana Mountains. The valley is drained by Pechanga Creek and its tributaries, itself a tributary of the Santa Margarita River.[1][2]
The Pechanga Indian Reservation and part of the city of Temecula is located in this valley.
