Google image from I-15 looking eastward.

Judging from the satellite imagery from above this location, it appears that this may be the famous fault causing many earthquakes.  If you look closely you can see a distortion that appears to  look like a hiking trail.  Then through the hills beyond you can see a cut through it all.
Every day is a winding road, you just got to get used to it.

That's just a creek bed.  The fault more or less follows I-5 through Cajon Pass to the Inland Empire.  You can pretty easily observe a fold northwest at Elizabeth Lake Road, Pine Canyon Road, Carrizo Plain and much of CA 25. 

BTW, you didn't spell "San Andreas" correctly.

As far as I can tell, location wise it is fairly close though

I am not familiar with the area, but I think I could find the location

Autocorrect dont work for me during typos. It only corrects words spelled correctly lol.

It was a typo. Andreas is my intention.

Total aside, the Kern Canyon Fault has some awesome roadways along it in the Sierra Nevada.  Caliente-Bodfish Road is on that fall was the star of the show at the Bakersfield Meet.

The satellite images show the fault, but one the ground its harder to notice. 

San Andreas Lake in the Bay Area and Cajon Pass were both formed from fault movement.

Corrizon Plain shows the fault from helicopter and plane photos as well.

Again autocorrect attempted to correct the name Corrizon.

Thing is, location you're referring to is very close - i would say within 1000' at most - from what fault map shows for multiple fault lines. I don't know a lot about those faults, but that qualifies as "suspiciously close' in my world.
Now that line seems to be lined up with Swarthout canyon rd, so maybe fault line, canyon, and stream  are at the same location?

A closer example would be Blue Cut on Cajon Blvd. You can sometimes see the cleft there.

No, it's the Turks' fault.

Yes you are within the area San Andreas is located.

I remember in places like South San Francisco, Pacifica and Daly City the San Andreas fault hits some neighborhoods in those areas. Yes there are homes and businesses  that happen to be within close proximity to San Andreas fault.

I believe @Max Rockatansky posted an image of a bridge across the fault line. And it wasn't a long bride...

Indeed I did.  It is on Parkfield-Coalinga Road.  Said bridge has a noticeable bow in it.

I took autocorrect offline.  I don't always spell correctly, but at least my mistakes are my own.
