1957 Map of Haiku

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

The agricultural and coastal landscape of northern Maui is captured here during the late 1950s, showing a transition between plantation-era infrastructure and mid-century development. Established settlements like Makawao and Haiku serve as anchors, while smaller worker-associated sites such as Filipino Camp and Corn Mill Camp provide insight into the local labor history of the period. The northern coast is defined by dramatic geography, from the Coast Guard Reservation at Pauwela Point to the numerous gulches that carve through the Koolau Forest Reserve. Transportation is centered on the Hana Highway, which winds across the northern shore, and Baldwin Avenue, which climbs toward the inland heights. A complex system of ditches and siphons feeding reservoirs like Haiku Reservoir and Pauwela Res reflects the island's intensive water management for its sugar and pineapple industries, which defined the island's economy before modern tourism expansion.
