These maps are somehwat dated but should still serve the same purpose since the geology hasn't changed.

Newer maps can be obtained through the usgs or the local college library.

The geologic maps by Morton and others at the sites listed in another answer will give you precise localities. However, if you can't read a geologic map or can't download it, here is another answer:

One place is near the top of Santiago Peak and in Silverado Canyon in the Santa Ana Mountains. There is a rock unit called the Santiago Peak Volcanics that formed during the Mesozoic.

In the hills east of Orange, you can find younger volcanic rocks.
The El Modeno Volcanics (basalt and andesite) volcanic rocks "overlie and are interstratified with fossiliferous sedimentary rocks of middle Miocene (Luisian) age and are overlain by fossiliferous sedimentary rocks of upper middle Miocene (lower Mohnian) age (Yerkes, 1957; Smith, 1960; Schoellhamer and others, 1981; T.H. McCulloh, written commun., 1998)"

More Miocene-age volcanics (diabase) cut through (intrude) ancient marine sedimentary deposits in the San Joaquin hills.
