About this map

Island of Hawai'i meets the Pacific Ocean along a coastline defined by intricate inlets and traditional place names. This southern coastal survey provides an detailed record of the shoreline features between Kamilo Point and the western reaches of 'Ekuokapua'a. The map documents numerous coastal points and bays, such as Paiaha'a Bay and Ka'alu'alu Bay, alongside significant landmarks like Pulehua Island.

Internal terrain features include Pu'unāhāhā and Pu'ulou, which stand near water sources like Kālolo. The density of specific local names along the water's edge, including Kaluakalani and Hoonoua, suggests a landscape with deep-seated local significance despite the lack of major modern infrastructure. This 2013 data emphasizes the natural contours and hydrologic features of the shoreline, including Waipouli and Ki'i.
