Little Catawissa Creek flows over rock of the Mauch Chunk Formation for its entire length.
Most of the rest of the watershed is also on this rock formation.
However, other rock formations also occur in the watershed.
A substantial area of the Pocono Formation can be found in the northwestern part of the watershed and large areas of rock of the Pottsville Formation occupy portions of the southern and western parts of the watershed.
Small areas of the Spechty Kopf Formation and the Buddys Run Member of the Catskill Formation are found in the northwestern part of the watershed.

Little Catawissa Creek flows over Leck Kill soil for most of its length.
However, its headwaters are on Hazleton soil.
Additionally, the westernmost and southernmost parts of the watershed are on Hazleton soil, as is the northwestern part of the watershed.

Little Catawissa Creek is flanked by areas prone to flooding between the point where it enters Schuylkill County and its mouth.
The tributary Stony Run also flows through some areas prone to flooding and a few areas near Trexler Run are susceptible to flooding as well.
Other small areas prone to flooding are scattered throughout the watershed of the creek.

Between T431 and T435, the creek is 5.3 meters (17 ft) wide and between T435 and the creek's mouth, its width is 6.2 metres (20 ft).
The gradient of the creek upstream of T431 is 20.8 meters per kilometer (110 ft/mi).
The gradient between T431 and T435 is 5.6 meters per kilometer (30 ft/mi) and the gradient between T435 and the mouth of the creek is 7.7 meters per kilometer (41 ft/mi) meters per kilometer.
