1993 Map of Kaunene

About this map

The upland slopes of the South Kona District are defined by a network of 4WD tracks and agricultural outposts in this 1993 study. Prominent landmarks such as Gaspars Dairy and remote habitations like Hapu'u Camp and Big Hill Camp appear among the traditional land divisions of Hōnaunau, Ki'ilae, and Ho'okena. The map details the water-scarce environment of the region, noting numerous isolated Water Tanks, the Komakawai Waterholes, and a Gaging Station located along the Ki'ilae Watercourse. Evidence of pastoral activity is visible in the form of a Corral and an extensive Rock Wall near the northern boundary. Peaks like Pu'ukinikini and Keanapa'akai punctuate the terrain, while the settlement at Kaunene sits high on the ridge line near the South Kona and North Kona District border.
