Tectonic geology of the northern Owens Valley. Faults are from Bryant (2005) and from mapping by the authors. RVF—Round Valley fault, WMFZ—White Mountain fault zone, FSF—Fish Slough fault, OVFZ—Owens Valley fault zone. OVRO—Owens Valley Radio Observatory. Color contours are depth to basement from gravity-data inversion by Saltus and Jachens (1995). Yellow arrows represent the direction of fault-plane dips obtained from three-point solutions on scarps or other fault-related geomorphic features (see Table 1); the numbers in the arrows are the dip value in degrees. Additional numbers in italics are dips obtained from inclinometer measurements on fault-plane exposures. For faults with steep dip solutions, double-headed arrows are shown. Inasmuch as the dip orientation estimates are not robust, the preferred dip direction is indicated by a black triangle on the end of one of the arrows. Arrows along the White Mountains fault zone have been shifted east of the point of measurement to avoid obscuring other data. The red circles represent the fan/drainage basin area ratios of alluvial fans along the western side of the White Mountains (see Table 2 for data). Selected fans and associated drainage basins are highlighted.
