2013 Map of Kaunakakai OE S

About this map

Traditional Hawaiian aquaculture dominates the southern coastline of Moloka'i in this contemporary coastal survey. The map highlights a series of significant historical structures including the Kaloko'eli Fishpond, Ali'i Fishpond, and Kaoaini Fishpond, which illustrate the island's long-standing relationship with the sea. These features sit adjacent to the settlement of Kawela, where the island's main coastal thoroughfare meets local roads like Uluanui Rd and Makanui Rd. Further west, the map details the approach to Kaunakakai Harbor and the transition into the deep waters of the Kalohi Channel. The landscape is defined by the drainage of 'Ōnini Gulch, which cuts toward the shore between the smaller residential clusters of the southeast coast.
