1981 Map of Akaka Falls

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

Akaka Falls State Park centers this coastal and upland landscape on the Hamakua Coast, where the dramatic Akaka Falls and Kahuna Falls drop into deep-cut gulches. The terrain is defined by a succession of forest reserves and watersheds, including the Hakalau Reserve Forest and the Hilo Closed Watershed, which transition into a legacy of agricultural settlement near the shore. The map details a series of former plantation and residential lands known as homesteads, such as the Hakalau Homesteads, Honomu Homesteads, and Kikala Homesteads. Cultural markers of the era include Mauna Kea Mem Park, several small cemeteries, and a Landing Strip. The intricate drainage system is evidenced by numerous streams like the Kolekole Stream and Honolii Stream, which carved the characteristic gulches that drop toward the Pacific.
