Cape Mudge is located on the south end of
Quadra Island, which lies off the mideastern coast of
Vancouver Island. This cape, that juts into notoriously hazardous waters, is named after Zachary Mudge
(1770-1852), a first lieutenant of Vancouver's Discovery; Mudge's name is attached
to several coastal features.
