About this map

Coffman Cove serves as the primary coastal settlement on this portion of Prince of Wales Island, situated along the sheltered waters of the Clarence Strait. The landscape is dominated by the Tongass National Forest, where a network of forest service roads like the Coffman Cove Loop and E Prince of Wales road provide access to the interior timberlands. Steep drainages and glacial features define the topography, including Baird Draw, Baird Rink, and the dramatic North Wall.

Freshwater systems are prominent throughout the quadrangle, with Luck Lake and Little Lake feeding into complex creek networks such as Luck Cr and Eagle Creek. Notable high points like Baird Peak and Canyon Top rise above specialized geographic features like Refrigerator Valley, reflecting the intricate glacial carving of this maritime environment. This survey documents the intersection of active forest management roads and the preserved wilderness of the Alexander Archipelago.
