1957 Map of Kaupo

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

The dramatic southern slopes of Haleakala Crater descend toward the Alenuihaha Channel in this mid-century portrait of East Maui. This coastal landscape is defined by the massive breach of the Kaupo Gap, where the Kaupo Trail winds down from the high volcanic elevations into the fertile lower lands. The map documents the layout of the Kaupo Homesteads, including the Maalo Homesteads and Kalepa Homesteads, which are interspersed with significant ancient Hawaiian sites like Loaloa Heiau and Hale O Kane Heiau. Along the rugged shoreline, small maritime facilities and points of entry like Mokulau Landing and the Nuu (Site) reflect a history of coastal accessibility before the full modernization of the Piilani Highway. The network of Water Tanks and an aboveground pipeline illustrate the vital management of water resources across the gulches and ridges of the Kipahulu Forest Reserve.
