2024 Map of Halawa OE S

About this map

Ancient shoreline engineering dominates this section of the Maui coast, where traditional aquaculture sites like Ni'aupala Fishpond, Kūpeke Fishpond, and Kihaloko Fishpond define the boundary between land and sea. These coastal features, along with small maritime entries at Puko'o Harbor and Honomuni Harbor, suggest a landscape historically tied to local subsistence and the management of water resources. The terrain inland rises sharply, carved by numerous drainage features including Mapulehu Stream and a series of steep ravines such as Pu'ulua Gulch and Puna'ula Gulch. Stretching east across the deep waters of the Pacific Ocean, the map highlights the proximity of the Pailolo Channel, the vital waterway separating Maui from its neighboring islands. The dense concentration of named gulches and fishponds illustrates a deeply etched relationship between the volcanic island topography and the inhabitants' coastal livelihood.
