1968 Map of Kamalo

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Ancient Hawaiian engineering and coastal settlement define this 1968 revision of the Molokai shoreline. Along the southern coast, a dense concentration of traditional stone-walled enclosures such as Kakaiaha Fishpond and Panahaha Fishpond demonstrates the sophisticated maritime aquaculture central to the island's history. The map records the cultural landscape near Kamalo and Ualapue, where residents lived between the heights of the Molokai Forest Reserve and the sea. Inland, the sacred Malae Heiau and Hokukano Heiau stand near the Kilohana Sch, marking the continuity of community space. The rugged north shore, defined by massive cliffs and the Pelekunu Bay, shows the transition of human activity through the noted settlement locations at Pelekunu (Site) and Wailau (Site), set against a dramatic terrain of falls like Moeloa Falls.
