2017 Map of Kamalo

About this map

Kalaupapa National Historical Park dominates the northern coast of this island landscape, preserving the geography of the isolated peninsula and its surrounding sea cliffs. The terrain is defined by dramatic verticality, where numerous waterfalls such as Waimanu Falls, Wailele Falls, and Oloupena Falls plunge toward the Pacific Ocean. This 2017 survey details the complex system of gulches and ridges that separate the interior highlands from the coastal settlements. Evidence of local infrastructure is found in the Moloka'i Tunnel, which cuts through the volcanic rock, while sites like Kalawao Cem and the small coastal landing at Huelo mark significant historical points of human presence. The map illustrates a landscape where traditional names like Kamoku Flats and Pepe'opae persist alongside modern resource management boundaries.
