Hello from a former Bakersfield person, until about a year ago anyway. I did some research and the Maricopa quake was is located near a fault that is known as the "Wheeler Ridge Fault." As for the Weldon quake it is interesting as there is no fault shown in that area, but it is in cloase proximety to the White Wolf fault, the Sierra Nevada fault and the Garlock fault. Of further interest is that there has been three other quakes in the range of 1.2 - 1.4 in that same area since that one.
As for where you can find data, check out the USGS website and also the CISN, which is the California Integrated Seismic Network.
I hope this helps and good luck.
