About this map

Pauwela Lighthouse stands as a sentinel over the jagged coastline of northern Maui, where the land breaks into numerous points and bays such as Eleilei Bay and Hoolawa Bay. The 2013 landscape is defined by the deep incisions of gulches like Kuiaha Gulch and Honokalā Gulch which carry water from the interior highlands toward the Pacific. The agricultural and industrial heritage of the region is evident in the water management systems, notably the New Hāmākua Ditch and several reservoirs including Haiku Reservoir and Pauwela Reservoir.

Residential patterns cluster around historic hubs like Ha'ikū, Makawao, and Huelo. Near the southern boundary, the Oskie Rice Rodeo Arena and various camps such as Filipino Camp and Camp Piiholo indicate a community history rooted in labor and ranching. The intricate network of local roads and named gulches reflects the complex topography of the windward slopes, where the Hana Hwy serves as the primary arterial connection through the region.
