1996 Map of Hanalei

About this map

The Hanalei River carves a deep valley through this northern Kauai landscape, where the alluvial flats support the Hanalei National Wildlife Refuge. The settlement of Hanalei sits along the curve of Hanalei Bay, while the planned community of Princeville occupies the bluffs to the east, complete with its Golf Course and nearby Princeville Airport. The interior is defined by massive land divisions such as the Halelea Forest Reserve and the Hanalei Forest Reserve, rising toward the peaks of Namolokama Mountain and Hihimanu. Along the coast, numerous points and beaches like Anini Beach and Makahoa Point separate the river mouths. For those researching local history, the map shows legacy sites including Hanapai and the old Hanalei Landing, providing a detailed view of the region's infrastructure before the close of the twentieth century.
