2013 Map of Kaunakakai

About this map

Kaunakakai Harbor and its distinctive Kaunakakai Wharf anchor this central Molokai landscape, where the island's commercial center meets the Kalohi Channel. The map illustrates a transition from the coastal Kamehameha Coconut Grove and Kaluaapuhi Fishpond toward the higher elevations of the Kamakou Forest Preserve Rd. Notable cultural and historical sites are present, including the Imukāluaua Heiau and the northern isolation of the Kalaupapa Peninsula within the Kalaupapa National Hist Park. The interior is defined by a series of deep drainages such as Manawainui Gulch and Kamiloloa Gulch, while infrastructure like the Moloka'i Tunnel and Kualapu'u Reservoir highlight the importance of water management in this environment. From the airfield at Ho'olehua to the clustered streets of Kaunakakai, the map provides a look at the island's modern settlement patterns and preserved heritage sites.
