2017 Map of Ilio Point

About this map

Maunaloa sits at the interior edge of this West Moloka'i landscape, serving as a primary point of settlement near the Maunaloa Cem. The terrain is defined by a series of deep drainages such as Wahilauhue Gulch and Kaunalā Gulch that spill toward the Pacific Ocean. Along the western shoreline, numerous named coastal features reveal a high density of small bays and beaches, including Kapukahehu Beach and the distinctive Lā'au Point at the southwestern tip. This 2017 survey details the network of remote roads and trails like Pōhakuloa Rd and the Kulawai Loop that connect the inland heights with the shore. Near the coast at Wahilauhue, the presence of the Panda Airport and the resort-adjacent settlement of Kepuhi illustrates the modern intersections of transport and recreation on the island's leeward side.
