About this map

The Honaunau Forest Reserve dominates this high-altitude landscape on the western slopes of Hawaii, where the terrain is marked by intricate land divisions known as ahupua'a. These long, narrow tracts, such as Kealakekua 2, Keokea, and Waiea, reflect traditional Hawaiian resource management stretching from the mountains toward the sea. The 1980s landscape is primarily defined by ranching and agricultural infrastructure rather than dense settlement. Scattered outposts like Gaspars Dairy, Hapuu Camp, and Big Hill Camp are connected by a network of 4WD trails, illustrating the rugged nature of the South Kona and North Kona districts. Water management is critical at these elevations, evidenced by the numerous Water Tanks and the Komakawai Waterholes near the boundary of the Kau District. Prominent volcanic features like Puu Lehua and Puu Kinikini provide natural landmarks for navigating this upland environment.
