Fictional references

In the science fiction novel "Lucifer's Hammer", written by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle, fragments of a comet strike the Earth, causing massive tidal waves to destroy most of the planet's coastal cities. Los Angeles is completely destroyed, and the collapse of dams throughout California causes the San Joaquin Valley to become an inland sea. The second half of this novel focuses on an enclave of civilization in the fictional "Silver Valley", located slightly east or northeast of Springville, and just north of the Middle Fork of the Tule River. ["Lucifer's Hammer" ISBN 0-872-23487-8]

Several key scenes in Alfred Hitchcock's "Saboteur" (1942) take place at a ranch in Springville.
