About this map

Kaho'olawe island's northern shoreline meets the Kealaikahiki Channel in this coastal survey. The terrain is defined by a series of significant drainage systems that carve the landscape before reaching the Pacific Ocean, including Olohia Gulch, Kaulana Gulch, and the neighboring Papaka Nui Gulch and Papaka Iki Gulch.

The coastline itself is marked by distinctive geographic points such as Lae 'O Hilu'ula and Lae 'O Hilukea, which frame the small inlets and landing areas. Evidence of local geography is preserved in named sites like Kaulana Beach and the waters of Kuheeia Bay. Farther east, the map records the land around Wa'aiki, illustrating the natural relief and hydrologic patterns of this unpopulated coastal segment as it was documented in the early 21st century.
