surfIcIaL geoLogy and stratIgraphy The left limit Montana Creek bench consists of three units. Unit 1, 1.6 m (5.2 ft) thick, is a blue-green-grey, moderately sorted cobble gravel, with subangular clasts, contains 10% boulders, 55% cobbles, and 35% pebbles. The upper 0.6 m (2 ft) consists of an imbricated, pebble gravel, absent of boulders, with isolated rip up pods of silty organics up to 10 cm (0.3 ft). Clasts are weakly imbricated in a north/northeast direction. Interbedded pebble gravel and medium-grained sand comprise unit 2, from 1.6 to 2.2 m (5.2 to 7.2 ft). Weakly oxidized throughout and pervasively in patches, gravel
and sand beds range from 10 to 30 cm thick and clasts are subangular to subrounded. Unit 3, 2.2 to 3.0 m (7.2 to 9.8 ft),is a pebble gravel similar to unit 2, except lacking the presence of sand. Overlying the section is up to 3 m (10 ft) of black muck. Material sluiced from the Montana Creek bench cuts consists of 0.9 m (3 ft) of the lower gravel and up to 1.5 m (5 ft) of bedrock. Muck is 6.1 to 9.1 m (20 to 30 ft) thick on Stowe Creek, with 1.2 to 1.8 m (4 to 6 ft) of gravel and 0.6 to 1.2 m (2 to 4 ft) of bedrock sluiced.

Bedrock Geology Bedrock is quartzite and quartz- muscovite schist, and varies in degree of decomposition.

Stowe creek has been famous since 1901 when a.f. stowe first staked the ground. 1902 after another miner mr.steers tryed to stake more then one claim,then a court argument in dawson city(1902) arissed from mr.danial steers and mr.carl lind.

Then in the 1980 two young men one a helicopter pilot and the other a prospector made there way into stowe creek after seeing some old timers cabins and workings from the air. Once they staked stowe and many other creeks around, they got to work heavly drilling stowe creek. The down turn in gold prices in the early 1980's brought things to a stop on stowe and the ground was left to lapse.
