1963 Map of Anahola

About this map

Kilauea and Anahola anchor this northeastern Kauai landscape during a period of active land management and agricultural utility. The map reveals an intricate network of irrigation and infrastructure, featuring the Koolau Flume and numerous water bodies such as Morita Reservoir and the Kanehu Reservoirs that sustained the local plantation economy. Cultural and civic life is centered around the Kilauea Sch and Anahola Sch, while the coastal margins are defined by prominent landmarks like Crater Hill and the Coast Guard Reservation at Kilauea Point. The interior is dominated by the protected lands of the Moloaa Forest Reserve and Anahola Forest Reserve, rising toward the peaks of the Makaleha Mts. Notable for genealogists is the Hawaiian Homes settlement near Anahola Bay, reflecting the community's mid-century residential layout.
