2024 Map of Kaunakakai OE S

About this map

Kaunakakai serves as the primary coastal anchor on this modern survey of the southern shore of Moloka'i. The landscape is defined by the significant presence of traditional coastal aquaculture, including Kaloko'eli Fishpond, Ali'i Fishpond, and Kaoaini Fishpond. These features reflect a deep history of coastal resource management that persists alongside newer infrastructure like Makaiki Rd and Makanui Rd. The terrain rises toward the north, punctuated by 'Ō'ili'ili Gulch, while the southern expanse of the sheet is dominated by the waters of Kalohi Channel and the Pacific Ocean. This map documents the intersection of centuries-old maritime traditions and the modern residential footprint near Nalulua.
