1929 Map of Kahoolawe

USGS Topo · Published 1929

About this map

Kahoolawe Island was surveyed in 1926 while under the territorial administration of Governor Wallace R. Farrington. This topographical record of the Makawao District shows the island's terrain before mid-century military activity, documenting significant cultural and geographical sites including a Heiau near Hakioawa and several Tanks used for water storage. The map identifies key interior craters such as Lua Makika and Lua Kealialalo, alongside coastal points like Lae o Kuikui and the small crescent of Molokini in the Alalakeiki Channel. The absence of large permanent settlements is clear, with naming focused on natural features and coastal bays like Kanapou Bay and Kamohio Bay, reflecting a landscape primarily used for ranching and fishing during the late 1920s.
