| Relative position | Goodwin Creek, with headwaters one mile east of the uplands of Cape Mountain, flows northward from the continental divide to Lopp Lagoon. Its headwater origin (180 feet elevation) is adjacent to the continental divide and only about 0.5 miles from the headwaters of both Cape Creek and Lagoon Creek which flow southward to the Bering Sea. Wales Creek (not identified on existing maps) may be the first tributary downstream from Goodwin Gulch (TE004). The location of Percy Gulch (Cobb, 1975), apparently another tributary to Goodwin Creek, is not known. Goodwin Creek is included in locality 24 of Cobb and Sainsbury (1972). Cobb (1975) summarized relevant references under the names 'Goodwin Cr.' and 'Percy Gulch'. |
