1956 Map of Honolua

About this map

The northwest coast of Maui in the mid-1950s is defined by a landscape of coastal settlements and rugged volcanic drainages. The Honoapiilani Highway serves as the primary artery connecting shoreline points like Honolua and the village of Honokahua, which then served as a local post office hub. The interior is dominated by the West Maui Forest Reserve, where deep gulches like Mokupeia Gulch and Punaha Gulch cut through the high terrain of Puu Kaeo.
