About this map

Kilauea Point and its historic lighthouse tower anchor the northern coast of Kauai in this detailed 1980s record of the island's windward shore. The landscape is defined by the transition from coastal settlements like Kilauea and Anahola to the expansive protected lands of the Moloaa Forest Reserve and Kealia Forest Reserve. An intricate network of ditches and reservoirs, including Ka Loko Reservoir and Kaneha Reservoir, reveals the extensive water management systems essential to the region's agricultural history.

Evidence of the area's cultural and economic evolution is visible through landmarks such as the Kapinao Heiau and the Spalding Monument, alongside industrial and transportation features like the Kilauea Quarry and the Kealia Landing Strip. Along the coast, the geography is marked by numerous named points and bays, from Moloaa Bay to Anahola Bay, providing a clear view of the shoreline before modern development altered the character of these rural Hawaiian districts.
