About this map

Kilauea Lighthouse stands prominently on Kilauea Point at the northern tip of this coastal survey, marking a landscape defined by sharp cliffs and numerous beaches. Moving south along the windward coast of Kaua'i, the map details the agricultural and water-management infrastructure vital to the region, including the Waiakalua Reservoir, Morita Reservoir, and the tiered Kanehu Reservoir Number One system. These catchments, alongside landmarks like Kilauea Falls and the Waipahee Slide, illustrate the intensive use of the island's interior streams.

Evidence of indigenous history is preserved at Kipapa Heiau and Kapinao Heiau, situated near the coastal settlements of Kilauea and Moloaa. The terrain transitions from the volcanic heights of Crater Hill to the broad Anahola Valley and the distinctive Hole-in-the-Mountain. The intricate network of local roads such as Pali Moana Pl and Larson Beach Rd provides a granular view of residential growth and access to isolated stretches like Larsens Beach and Aliomanu Beach.
