2013 Map of Kailua

About this map

The Kona coast of the Island of Hawai'i is documented here as it transitioned through the early twenty-first century, showing the modern residential expansion surrounding Kailua. The coastal activity centers on Kailua Pier and Kamakahonu Beach, while the interior landscape is defined by the massive Ka'ūpūlehu Lava Flow and volcanic features like Ka'ūpūlehu Crater. The map reveals a settlement pattern of distinct neighborhoods and communities, including Kalaoa to the north and the specialized Hōlualoa Makai Camp and Hōlualoa Mauka Camp to the south.
