About this map

Hanalei and Princeville anchor this 2017 survey of the northern coast of Kauai, where the massive mountain ridges of the interior meet the Pacific Ocean. The landscape is dominated by the deep incisions of the Hanalei River and Waioli Valley, with the towering peak of Namolokama Mtn rising above the watershed. To the east, the Kalihiwai River flows past Haleone toward Kalihi Wai, supported by infrastructure like the Kalihiwai Reservoir.

Modern development in Princeville is clearly delineated by a dense network of residential roads such as Ka Haku Rd and Albert Rd, contrasted with the historically significant Hanalei Bridge. The map details the transition from high-elevation falls like Wailunehune Falls and Hanapouli Falls to the coastal points and beaches, including Lumaha'i Beach and the protective Waikoko Reef. This record illustrates the sophisticated balance of tourism infrastructure, represented by the Princeville Airport, and the preservation of the island's natural water systems.
