This unit is located in southern Alaska and along the Prince William Sound. This unit is largely remote with most of the civilization occurring on the northern end in the town of Cordova. Hunters in this area will generally opt to be flown into the unit or will utilize rented boats and skiffs. Additionally, hunters can rent vehicles in Cordova and drive into portions of the hunting area. Like most of the units along the Gulf of Alaska this area has experienced heavy glacial scarring historically which has produced large marshy flats that are heavily vegetated, widespread river bottoms, and small isolated mountain ranges. As you move inward and northward the terrain will quickly change as steep and rugged ridge lines rise off the valley floor and climb into impressive peaks. Good hunting opportunities can be found here but trophy qualities tend to be lower than in other portions of the state and many nonresident hunters will opt for additional options.

This unit features great access options from boats and planes to vehicles. Along with hunting, great recreational opportunities exist for waterfowl and fishing.

This area can be characterized by large expansive glacial river bottoms, marshy bogs, and isolated mountain ranges. The northern and eastern ends of the unit sees a far greater exaggeration in terrain as incredibly steep ridge lines rise thousands of feet of valley floors and top out in rocky peaks and tundra. Treeline is this area is fairly typical for the greater region at about 1,500 - 2,000 feet. Drainages are marked by large avalanche chutes in the more steep ranges and these can be great areas to locate game.

Along the coastline large tidal flats will extend out from the tree cover and will be abundant in nutrient-rich grasses and sedges, In the lower elevations just off the coastline, hunters will commonly find ancient stands of cedar, hemlock, and Sitka Spruce growing among patches of alder, devils club, and other thick ground cover. The majority of the low and mid elevation area is comprised of a large and flat expanse of marshes, streams, river channels, and muskegs. This area can provide some relief from the dense vegetation but can be a chore to navigate. In some of the higher elevations, the tree and ground cover will greatly reduce as smaller tree species such as Mountain Hemlock grows in abundance. In these areas, native grasses and wildflowers will also grow in high quantities. The highest elevation areas will be largely comprised of rock faces, cliffs, and scree patches along with periodic patches of tundra. Fresh avalanche chutes can be huntable but after a few years Salmonberry tends to grow so thick that any type of travel through these areas will be nonexistent.

Access options are great in this unit and hunters can really tailor these to their desired hunt and experience. Physically traversing country below treeline can be extremely difficult at times as hunters battle thick vegetation and marshy areas. When traveling longer distances river channels can be used at times but this will be wholly dependent on the target destination. The Copper River Highway out of Cordova does travel through a large portion of the center of the unit and can provide vehicle access into a number of areas.

Modern lodging options can be found in Cordova along with great restaurants. Numerous USFS cabins litter the area and can also be rented for a very modest price. Depending on the hunting location some hunters may also opt to primitive camp in the bush but this area does receive extremely heavy rainfall.
