1957 Map of Honokane

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Kohala Forest Reserve dominates this 1957 landscape, where the steep, verdant ridges of the North Kohala District meet the Pacific. The complex hydraulic engineering of the era is evident in the trace of the Kohala Ditch and Kehena Ditch, alongside features like the Awini Weir and several gaging stations. These systems moved water across the difficult terrain of Honokane Nui and Honokane Iki to support downstream industries. Near the coast, small settlements like Niulii and Waiapuka sit above the sea cliffs, while the interior is marked by surveying history at Old USGS Camp and New USGS Camp. The map provides detailed coastal context, identifying coral reefs and dramatic points such as Kaialae Pt, alongside the isolated Waimanu Valley and the spectacular Waiilikahi Falls.
