1984 Map of Kahoolawe

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

The Makao District Naval Reservation occupies the vast majority of this island landscape, highlighting its mid-1980s status as a military site. Central topographic features include Lua Makika and the high point of Puu Moaulanui, surrounded by a network of gulches and ridges that define the interior. The coastline is marked by numerous traditional Hawaiian place names such as Honokanai'a and Hakiioawa, reflecting a cultural geography that persists despite the military designation. On the periphery, small utility features like the Southwest Point Light and the US Coast Guard Reservation at the northern tip indicate the importance of the surrounding Alalakeiki Channel and Kealaikahiki Channel for maritime navigation. This survey documents the island's terrain from Lua Kealialuna to the steep cliffs of Pali o Kalapakea during a period of restricted access.
