2013 Map of Ilio Point OE N

About this map

‘Īlio Point marks the northwestern-most reach of Moloka‘i on this coastal study of Hawaii's northern shores. The landscape is defined by the transition from the Pacific Ocean to a series of named coastal features and gulches. Inland from the point, the terrain rises toward Kaeo, with the drainage of Kawākiu Gulch cutting through the shoreline. Further east, the coastline is punctuated by Anapuka and Mokio Point, highlighting the series of inlets and promontories like Pueoao and Kawaihau that characterize this stretch of Maui County. This 2013 survey documents the precise names of the shoreline's physical geography, including Kealapūpūakiha and Kahenawai, providing a clear record of the island's littoral zone before more recent environmental changes.
