The watershed is composed of mostly granite with some volcanic rocks. The flow is fed by snowmelt and precipitation. The watershed has several tributaries, including South Mineral Creek, and is impacted by several dams, including the Animas La Plata Project. The stream experiences high flow during spring snowmelt and summer monsoons, and low flow during winter months. The hydrology is interesting due to the historical mining activity in the area, which has impacted water quality and flow. The stream has also been designated as impaired due to high levels of metals and acidity.
