What the map says

Gravel, sand, silt, and clay of modern stream flood plains and slightly older low terraces less than 6.1 m above stream level. Deposits of Bear Creek, Clear Creek, and Boulder Creek, and South Platte River are coarse, cobbly gravel near the Mountain front; decrease in grain size downstream. In streams east of the South Platte River, deposits are mainly sand. Sand, silt, and clay compose the deposits in small streams and tributaries. Thickness generally less than 6 m. Minor source of sound aggregate.
