The surficial geology at the mouth of Partners Creek consists of alluvial fan. Further upstream, the surficial geology mainly consists of a till known as Wisconsinan Till, but there are large patches of alluvium and bedrock consisting ofsandstone and shale in the area. There are also patches of wetlands and lakes, including one known as Acre Pond. A dam known as Acre Pond Dam is situated on Partners Creek. In August 1981, it was classified as being in fair condition. The dam does not have a spillway capable of withstanding a 100 year flood, and thus often experiences overtopping. Because of this, and because a few lives could be lost in the event of a dam failure, it was classified as a "significant hazard dam". While there was some leakage through the dam, no signs of structural instability were observed.
