1954 Map of Kauai

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

Kauai Island and its neighbors are detailed in this mid-century survey, compiled from early-1940s quadrangles and intelligence data through 1951. The map documents the primary settlements of Lihue, Hanalei, and Waimea, while also capturing the more remote Niihau Island with its settlement at Puuwai and the waters of Halulu Lake. A significant indicator of the era's changing economy is the Kilauea Sugar Plantation Railroad, noted here as dismantled, reflecting the decline of narrow-gauge rail transport in the sugar industry.
