Geology: The area of Baker Creek near its junction with Hutlitakwa Creek is low-lying and extensively covered by Quaternary alluvial and colluvial deposits (Reifenstuhl and others, 1998). Bedrock in this area consists of Cretaceous volcaniclastic rocks and sandstone, shale, and siltstone. No plutonic rocks are mapped in the local area. A sample (97SL150E) of a quartz vein in volcaniclastic sandstone on the north bank of Baker Creek contained 742 parts per million (ppm) zinc (Liss and others, 1998). There is no record of exploration or mining at this site.
