1997 Map of Kahakuloa

About this map

Kahakuloa and its surrounding coastal lands are defined by a succession of steep gulches and prominent headlands along the northern Maui coast. The landscape transition from the high ridges of the West Maui Forest Reserve down to the Pacific Ocean is marked by deep incisions like Kahakuloa Gulch and Hononana Gulch. This 1990s era survey documents the local land divisions including the Kahakuloa Homesteads and smaller settlement areas at Lahoole and Aawanui. Notable coastal landmarks such as the sheer Kahakuloa Head and Puu Koae dominate the shoreline, while inland features like the Gaging Station on Kahakuloa Stream indicate the management of vital water resources in this steep, tropical environment.
