About this map

Pololu Valley and the steep northern face of the Kohala Mountains dominate this 1982 coastal survey, where deep ampitheater-headed valleys drop sharply into the Pacific Ocean. Small settlements like Niulii and Wakaina are concentrated along the northwestern coastal shelf, while the interior remains defined by the Kohala Forest Reserve and its intricate drainage systems. The map traces the engineering of the Kehena Ditch and identifies several dramatic waterfalls including Lahomene Falls and Wailikahi Falls at the head of the Waimanu Valley. This era shows a landscape where foot trails and gaging stations are the primary human imprints across the Honopue Valley and Honokane Nui regions, highlighting the transition from the inhabited coastal pockets to the remote, vertical terrain of the North Kohala and Hamakua districts.
