2024 Map of Halawa

About this map

Halawa Valley and the steep ridges of East Molokai dominate this landscape, where deep gulches and dramatic coastal points meet the Pacific Ocean. This modern survey illustrates a network of traditional land divisions and coastal settlements like Hānō, Pauwalu, and Kuala. The terrain is defined by a dense system of seasonal and perennial waterways, including the Halawa Stream and Honouliwai Stream, which have carved profound valleys such as Papalaua Valley into the volcanic shield. These valleys were historically significant for agriculture and habitation, evidenced by the clustered names along the shoreline.
