2024 Map of Kamuela

About this map

Waimea and its surrounding ranchlands sit at the southern foot of the Kohala Mountains on the Island of Hawai'i. This 2024 survey captures the distinct transition from the dense residential grid of Kūhiō Village and the historic core near Imiola Church to the deep, weathered gulches of the northern slopes. The landscape is defined by its complex water management systems, including the Kehena Ditch and the Upper Hāmākua Ditch, which redirect flow across the high plateaus. Genealogists will find significant detail in the clustering of community sites like the Japanese Cem and Spenser Cem near the town center. The presence of the Pupukea Paalaa Uka Mil Road and Waimea-Kohala Airport highlights the region's importance as a central transportation and infrastructure hub for the northern part of the island.
