The rivers in Jiuhua Mountain are affected by structural or lithological factors. At the source of the rivers, intermountain basins occasionally develop. The former, such as the Jiuhua Basin, is located in the Zhonglongshan-Jiuhuajie fault zone. It is also the contact zone between Indosinian granodiorite and Yanshanian granite. It is an erosional structural basin formed by the long-term action of flowing water.

The latter is like the old permanent basin, located on the southeast side of Shiwang Peak and Tiantai Peak. Due to its small rise and relatively low terrain, it was formed by hillside erosion and retreat and water erosion. It is one of the headwaters of Yellowstone Creek.
