About this map

Agricultural and maritime infrastructure dominates this northern Maui landscape, where the Hana Highway winds through a terrain deeply carved by gulches. The settlement at Makawao serves as a hub for the inland region, supported by labor settlements like Filipino Camp and Corn Mill Camp. Along the coast, the Coast Guard Reservation at Pauwela Point monitors the Pacific Ocean near a series of named bays, including Uaoa Bay and Waipio Bay.

Water management for the surrounding plantations is evident in the dense network of ditches and reservoirs, such as the Haiku Reservoir and Kapaukulua Reservoir. Local life centers around the Haiku School and Haiku Church, while the interior rises toward the Maui Forest Reserve. This survey documents a critical period of land use on the island, from the industrial Cannery at Pauwela to the remote Olinda Prison at the southern edge of the quadrangle.
