About this map

Hanalei Bay dominates the northern coastline of this Kauai quadrangle, serving as a focal point for the transition from the Pacific waters to the interior valleys. The community of Hanalei sits along the shore near the Hanalei Landing, while the modern development of Princeville occupies the bluffs to the east. This area preserves a legacy of land use ranging from the traditional Hanalei Homesteads to the large-scale operations of the Princeville Ranch.

Inland, the terrain rises sharply into the high ridges of Kaua'i, where the Hanalei River and Kalihiwai River cut deep valleys through the landscape. Topographic details highlight the remote interior features like Waihunahuna Falls and the prominent peak of Namolokama Mountain. Transportation is primarily coastal, anchored by the Hanalei Bridge and the Princeville Airport, which facilitate movement between the agricultural valleys and the resort developments.
