About this map

Punaluu and Kaaawa anchor the Windward Coast of Oahu on this early 1980s topographic study, where narrow coastal settlements are hemmed in by the dramatic pali of the Koolau Range. The map details the transition from the Pacific Ocean's reefs and coral heads to the steep interior peaks like Puu Ohulehule and Puu Kanehoalani. A significant portion of the landscape is dedicated to conservation and public recreation, including the expansive Kahana State Park and Kualoa Regional Park. Traditional land use is evident in features such as Molii Pond, an ancient Hawaiian fishpond near Kualoa Point. Along the coastline, landmarks like the Crouching Lion rock formation and the iconic Mokolii Island (Chinamans Hat) sit offshore in Kaneohe Bay, while several beach parks like Swanzy Beach Park line the highway.
