1989 Map of Kalanei

USGS Topo · Published 2001

About this map

Pu'uwai and the surrounding coastline on the island of Niihau are captured here as they appeared in the late 1980s. The map illustrates a landscape where small settlements like Kalānei and Kālehu sit near the edge of the Pacific Ocean, separated by the distinctive coastal terrain of Paliuli. The presence of inland features such as Lo'e Lake and the drainage of Hā'ao Valley indicates the natural water systems that defined life in this secluded region. Toward the northern reach of the terrestrial area shown, the settlement of Kaununui is noted near a series of coastal rocks. Because this survey was updated through imagery in 1989, it reflects the established settlement patterns and topography of the island's western side during the late twentieth century, showing a environment primarily shaped by its volcanic geography and proximity to the sea.
