1952 Map of Kaunakakai

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

Kalaupapa Settlement sits prominently on its northern peninsula, isolated by the towering cliffs of the Molokai Forest Reserve. This mid-century survey captures the distinct landscape of Molokai, where the geography is defined by a series of ancient volcanic features like Kauhakō Crater and dozens of "puu" or hills, such as Puu Luahine and Puu Oahu. The coastal settlement of Kaunakakai serves as the primary maritime hub, anchored by its harbor and surrounded by traditional Hawaiian coastal engineering, including the Alii Fishpond and Kalokoeli Fishpond.
