1970 Map of Kauai

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The islands of Kauai and Niihau are shown here in the early 1970s, connected by the Kaulakahi Channel. The map documents the intricate network of forest reserves and state parks that dominate the interior of Kauai, including the massive Waimea Canyon St Pk and the Puu Ka Pele For Res. Along the western coastline, the presence of the Pacific Missile Range Facility at PMRF Barking Sands highlights the region's mid-century importance to maritime and aerospace operations. On the privately-owned island of Niihau, rare details of settlements like Puwai, Kiekie, and Kamalino are visible, along with Halulu Lake, the state's largest natural lake. The map also traces the agricultural and industrial infrastructure of the era, such as the Koloa Mill and shipping hubs like Port Allen.
