1982 Map of Honaunau

About this map

Puuhonua O Honaunau National Historical Park anchors this coastal survey of the South Kona District, preserving ancient Hawaiian sanctuaries like the Hale o Keawe Heiau and Alealea Heiau. The shoreline is a dense record of indigenous and colonial interaction, from the Cooks Monument at Kealakekua Bay to the village at Napoopoo. The landscape rising toward the Honapnau Forest Reserve reflects the local agrarian economy of the early 1980s, specifically the coffee industry centered around the Coffee Mill near Captain Cook. Local social life is mapped through sites like the Honaunau Rodeo Arena and multiple rural educational centers, including Napoopoo School and Honaunau School. Along the coast, numerous points such as Palemano Pt and Miana Pt separate small bays and coves, including Keoneele Cove and Kiilae Bay, where traditional heiau ruins like Omao Heiau still stand.
