The creek runs east-west from north of River Jordan, British Columbia to Sombrio Beach. It is geologically very interesting since the creek follows the Leech River major thrust fault[1] and forms a distinct border between two different terranes[2]: In the south the Crescent Terrane, an ancient volcanic island, and in the north the Pacific Rim Terrane, composed of gneiss and schist.
