The
Furnace Creek Fault Zone (FCFZ) is a right lateral-moving (dextral)
geologic fault which extends for some 200 km (124 miles) in eastern
California. It runs from a connection with the
Death Valley Fault Zone in the
Amargosa Valley northward to a termination in the
Fish Lake Valley. The northern segment of the FCFZ is also referred to as the Fish Lake Valley Fault Zone. The FCFZ is considered an integral part of the
Walker Lane.
