1952 Map of Kamalo

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

The southern coast of Molokai in the early 1950s is defined by a dense concentration of cultural landmarks near Ualapue and Kaluaaha. Here, several ancient stone structures, including Hokukano Heiau and Kaluakapiho Heiau, stand near the shoreline, marking significant historical sites. To the north, the terrain rises sharply toward the Molokai Forest Reserve, dominated by the high peak of Kamakou and the precipitous Kapapa Pali. This period of mapping records the transition from active coastal settlements to inland wilderness, noting former village locations such as Pelekunu (Site) and Wailau (Site) on the northern coast. These sites, situated at the mouths of deep valleys like Pelekunu Bay and Wailau Bay, illustrate the historical isolation of the island's northern cliffs, where the Hukoo PO served the more accessible southern population center.
