1959 Map of Honaunau

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

Kealakekua Bay serves as a focal point for this coastal survey of the South Kona district, where the historic Cooks Monument marks the shoreline near Kaawaloa. The landscape is a transition from the rugged basaltic coast to the upland agricultural zones, notably illustrated by the Coffee Mill above Napoopoo. This era shows a network of established settlements connected by a mix of roads and a Jeep Trail, supporting local industry and the Honaunau Forest Reserve. The map provides significant cultural detail at the City of Refuge National Historical Park near Honaunau, documenting the site's layout before later modern developments. Coastal features like Pali Kapu o Keoua and several named beaches such as Keei Beach and Kalahiki Beach define the western edge, while educational hubs like Hookena School and Napoopoo School reveal the distribution of the mid-century population.
