About this map

Lā‘au Point and the southwestern coast of Moloka‘i define this coastal landscape, where the island's west end meets the Kaiwi Channel. The map illustrates a transition from the elevated village of Maunaloa, situated near the Maunaloa Cem, down to the extensive shoreline. Transport and utility are evidenced by Panda Airport and a network of coastal roads like Kalua Koi Rd and Hale O Lono Beach Rd that connect modern developments and seasonal camps.

Numerous gulches such as Wahilauhue Gulch and Kaunalā Gulch cut through the terrain toward distinctive beaches, including Sam Wrights Beach and Kepuhi Beach. The presence of Āholehole Flats and volcanic landmarks like Pu‘uokaiaka suggests a geography shaped by both erosion and ancient flows. This contemporary survey preserves the traditional Hawaiian place names for the points, bays, and hills that characterize this stretch of the island.
