Death Valley National Park belongs to the Basin and Range Province in east central California. The National Park was subjected to many structural folding and faulting events from the Precambrian through Cenozoic Erathems. Stratigraphic sequences range from Cambrian through Recent Periods displayed in the many canyons throughout the park. Most notably Titus Canyon, Mosaic Canyon, Golden Canyon, and a few others are presented. Recent structural geological and geophysical properties are included along with many photos presenting the more interesting aspects of the park.

Chapter 1 presents the geological setting of the park. Chapter 2 presents a geologic tour of Death Valley National Park beginning with Precambrian through Cenozoic aged structures. Chapter 3 provides the stratigraphy of the park presented through discussions of Titus Canyon and its formations including the mega-breccia deposit. Chapter 4 presents scenic features of the Holocene and Recent times. Chapter 5 presents Recent structural geology including geophysical features of the valley fill. The structural features portion of the chapter features Pleistocene through Precambrian and Paleozoic features in reverse order from youngest to oldest.
