That portion of the coast of Antarctica between Cape Herlacher and Cape Waite. Discovered by R. Admiral Byrd and members of the USAS in flights from the USS Bear in February 1940. Named by Byrd for Charles R. Walgreen, president of the Walgreen Drug Co. of Chicago, who was a supporter of the ByrdAE, 1933-35, and assisted in equipping the Bear for the USAS, 1939-41. This coast was mapped in detail by USGS from ground surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1959-66.
