Whale
Pass lies on the northeast side of Prince of Wales Island, north of
Coffman Cove on Forest Development Road (FDR) 25. It lies at
approximately 56° 06' N Latitude, 133° 10' W Longitude . The community
is located in the Ketchikan Recording District. The area encompasses 35
sq. miles of land and 7 sq. miles of water.

camps continuously since 1964. In the early 1980s, the last camp moved
out, and the area was permanently settled as the result of a State
Department of Natural Resources land disposal sale.
