About this map

Hā‘ena and its neighboring coastal settlements of Halehomaha and Wainiha anchor this 2017 survey of Kaua‘i's North Shore. The topography is dominated by the massive Wainiha Valley and the steep ridges of Hono‘onāpali, where numerous vertical drops create landmarks like Hanakāpġ‘ai Falls and Limaluli Falls. Along the coast, the interplay of land and sea is marked by Makua Reef and popular littoral reaches such as Tunnels Beach and Kepuhi Beach.

High-elevation wetlands and conservation areas occupy the southern portion of the map, including Waineke Swamp and portions of Kŉke‘e State Park. The transition from the alluvial flats of ‘Aikanaka and Kealawela to the deep interiors of Ho‘olulu Valley illustrates the island's traditional land divisions. Detailed road networks like Wainiha Powerhouse Rd and Kŉke‘e Rd provide the primary access points into this complex terrain.
