I've done some quick digging. Towsley Canyon is in the Santa Susana Mts.
I found a nice page which shows cross sections of the geology. The Pico anticline is to the south. There apparently were some oil wells in the past.

As for seismicity, this area seems to be "upwind" of the 1994 Northridge Earthquake, which I seem to recall caused the Santa Susana range to rise up several inches.
