About this map

Pololū Valley and its massive coastal cliffs dominate this 2017 survey of the northern Kohala coast. The landscape is defined by deep, parallel amphitheater valleys carved by systems like Honokāne Nui Stream and Honopue Stream. Along the rocky shoreline, prominent landmarks such as Akoakoa Point and Paokalani Island stand against the Pacific Ocean.

Evidence of local history and settlement is found primarily in the northwest corner, where the Saint Pauls Episcopal Cem and Niuli'i Cem are located near Kēōkea Beach. The interior remains largely dominated by its dramatic topography, featuring the ancient Kupenau heights and the remote settlement of Honokāne. A noted Foot Path provides one of the few named terrestrial routes through the dense network of gulches and streams that drain the windward slopes.
