2024 Map of Honokaa

About this map

Honoka'a sits along the northern coastline of the Island of Hawai'i, where the land descends from the interior slopes toward the Pacific Ocean. This modern survey reveals a landscape deeply connected to its agricultural and cultural history, evidenced by the numerous cemeteries and religious missions that dot the terrain between deep gulches. From Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Cem in the west to the Paauilo Catholic Cem near the settlement of Paauilo, these sites offer significant points of interest for genealogists. The infrastructure reflects the island's economic past, with the Cane Haul Rd and Old Mamalahoa Hwy traversing the coastal hills. The terrain is defined by a dense series of drainages, such as Kukuiaononipahu Gulch and Hanaipoi Iki Gulch, which cut through the volcanic slopes toward coastal points like Mahiki Point.
