There's a link to a Google Earth view - see below

There are a few roads that it's next to.. Any signs of a fault are probably buried under sediments flowing down from the mountains there.. It looks to be on the edge of the old Owens Lake Bed.. On the right side of Owens Valley - not the Sierra's side.. more the white mountain side.

I would say there's some triggering mechanism at work with 2 large quakes setting things in motion on faults already stressed..

LBCC Geology is taking a trip to Death Valley and Trona this weekend - Sure hope things stay quiet for them!
