About this map

Ancient Hawaiian aquaculture remains a defining element of the south shore of Moloka'i, where several traditional stone-walled fishponds are clearly delineated along the shallow coastline. These features, including Kaloko'eli Fishpond, Ali'i Fishpond, Kaoaini Fishpond, and Kānoa Fishpond, represent a sophisticated system of maritime resource management that persists into the modern era. The landscape transitions from the protected waters of Kaunakakai Harbor across the deep Kalohi Channel toward the open Pacific Ocean. On land, the terrain is marked by steep incisions like 'Onini Gulch, while local transit is facilitated by routes such as Makanui Rd and Uluanui Rd, which provide access to the coastal settlements and the 450 corridor.
