2017 Map of Kahoolawe OE NE

About this map

The crescent-shaped volcanic crater of Molokini stands as a prominent landmark within the 'Alalākeiki Channel, separating the islands of Maui and Kaho'olawe. This 2017 topographic survey highlights the northeastern coastal tip of Kaho'olawe, an area defined by significant topographic relief and maritime geography. On the island itself, the map identifies the peak of Lua 'O Keālialuna and the northern point at Lae 'O Kuikui. The shoreline is etched by drainage features including Big Gulch and Wa'aiki Gulch, which terminate near the historical area of Hakioawa. The survey provides a clear view of the bathymetry-adjacent terrain and the expansive reach of the Pacific Ocean surrounding these landforms, capturing the island's character in the early twenty-first century as part of Maui County.
