About this map

Mokulē‘ia Beach Colony and the nearby Dillingham Airfield anchor this coastal segment of the Wai‘anae Range. The landscape is defined by its series of pali (cliffs) and gulches, including Manini Pali and Keekee Gulch, which drop sharply toward the Pacific Ocean. This 2013 survey illustrates a distinct land-use pattern where established agricultural and equestrian operations like Dillingham Ranch, Crowbar Ranch, and Campbell Ranch coexist with recreational and military sites.

Along the western shore, the map identifies several beach points and camps, from Camp Erdman to the more isolated Makua settlement near Makua Beach. The presence of several Mokuleia Camp sites and the Satellite Tracking Station Rd indicates a geography shared by local industry and defense. Water features such as the Kawaihāpai Reservoir and Polipoli Stream suggest the drainage systems essential for the ranches situated on the plateau of Peacock Flat.
