Beds of clay several feet thick were found at various elevations. The auriferous gravels at Cripple Creek are very deep they are overlain by several hundred feet of barren gravel and reworked loess or so-called muck that washed into valley from the surrounding hillsides. Boswell (1979) described the Cripple Creek pay channel as an ancient channel of Ester Creek (FB034) which branched from the present course of Ester Creek roughtly opposite the mouth of Ready Bullion Creek.
