About this map

The northern coastline of Kauai is defined here by the rugged headland of Kilauea Point, where the Kilauea Point Light stands as a landmark for Pacific navigation. During the early 1980s, this area reflects a landscape balancing conservation and agriculture, featuring the Kilauea National Wildlife Refuge alongside extensive water management systems. A network of flumes and ditches, including the Koolau Ditch and Kilauea Flume, draws water from Kilauea Stream and various reservoirs like Morita Reservoir to support the surrounding lands.

Evidence of local heritage and development is visible in the Hawaiian Homes tracts near Anahola Bay and the presence of the Kapinao Heiau near the shore. Inland, the terrain rises into the Moloaa Forest Reserve and Kamalomaloo Forest Reserve, where numerous named peaks such as Puu Ehu and Puu Pane overlook the coast. The settlement at Kilauea serves as a primary hub, complete with the Kilauea Sch and the industrial footprint of the Kilauea Quarry.
