1997 Map of Anaehoomalu

About this map

The Lava Flow of 1859 dominates the southern landscape of this coastal Hawaii region, meeting the sea at Keawaiki Bay. Along the shoreline, ancient and modern land uses converge, visible in the Puu Anahulu Homesteads (Kapalaoa Section) and the coastal trail known as the Kings Highway. Traditional Hawaiian aquaculture is preserved through features like the Kuualii Fishpond and Kahapapa Fishpond near Anaehoomalu Bay. The map documents a rugged volcanic coast punctuated by small settlements such as Kapalaoa and Lahuipuaa, while the interior remains defined by the massive expanse of the Kaniku Lava Flow and the rising slopes of Puuwaawaa.
