1996 Map of Honaunau

About this map

Kealakekua Bay State Historical Park and the surrounding coastline of the Big Island define this mid-1990s landscape. This survey documents a critical cultural corridor, from the Cooks Monument at Cook Point to the sacred grounds of Puuhonua O Honaunau National Historical Park. The map reveals a complex system of ancient and modern land divisions, marked by numerous Rock Walls and traditional ahupuaʻa boundaries such as Keei and Honaunau. Small coastal settlements like Keei, Hookena, and Kealia are shown alongside significant coastal features including the Napoopoo Lighthouse and the dramatic cliffs of Pali Kapu o Keoua. The presence of several Cem sites and the remote Maluhia Camp provide essential detail for genealogists and local historians tracing families along this historic shoreline.
