 Survey of Death Valley Flood
Park Ranger Charlie Callagan stated that this was the heaviest rainfall he had seen in his entire life and his rough estimates of rainfall were in the 1-2 inch range.  This flood is being compared to the floods from 1985, 1941 and 1939.
Runoff was evident from numerous channels along the west side of the Funeral Mountains.
The flooding was then significantly enhanced at the merger of both arms with flow crossing back and forth along the roadway initially, then running along both sides of the road causing substantial erosion, and additionally washing out entire sections of the roadway.

We assign Tertiary strata throughout the Cottonwood, Panamint, Grapevine, and Funeral Mountains to time-transgressive tectono-sequences of early, syn-, and late extensional age relative to development of the extended terrane.
Strata of the synextensional Amargosa Sequence, including the Leadfield, Bat Mountain, Artist Drive, and Navadu Formations, were deposited within the Bullfrog, Furnace Creek, and Nova sedimentary basins that developed as range-scale crustal fragments progressively separated during regional large-magnitude extension.
The time-transgressive record of Amargosa deposition indicates an east-to-west migration in the locus of active extension, in accord with previous observations documenting a progressive westward shift in the cessation of major extension.

 Death Valley’s geologic history: Cenozoic
In this region, known as the Basin and Range province, mountain blocks were uplifted and valleys formed as the floors between ranges dropped along normal faults.
The mountains are still moving too - regional estimates suggest the mountains are moving on average about a half inch per year (although no motion has occurred in the last few decades).
Thus while the rocks of Death valley's mountains may be millions or billions of years old, the mountain topography is very young, and still growing.

Instead they are blocks of the earth's crust that either have sunk between fault lines or have been left lying low as the mountains at their sides have risen along those same faults.
This combination of fault-block mountains and depressions is known as basin-and-range topography, and it is on vivid display in and around Death Valley.
The oldest rocks exposed within the national park comprise the 1.8 billion-year-old crystalline basement formation, which is exposed in the steep front of the Black Mountains at the south end of the park and in the Panamint Mountains north of Hanaupah Canyon.

Investigation of Linear Magnetic Anomalies in the Funeral Mountains, Death Valley Region, California
A series of northeast-trending magnetic anomalies were detected in the Funeral Mountains with a high-resolution aeromagnetic survey of the Death Valley-Amargosa Desert region of California and Nevada.
Although we found no evidence in the Funeral Mountains that the fault zones are unusually magnetic, the normal faults produce lengthy tilted blocks that do produce magnetic anomalies from upturned magnetic beds within the blocks.
