1983 Map of Kaupo

About this map

Haleakala National Park dominates the northern reaches of this coastal landscape, where the dramatic descent from the Haleakala Crater meets the Alenuihaha Channel. This area of Maui is defined by its deep cultural history, evidenced by the presence of significant religious sites such as Loaloa Heiau, Popoiwi Heiau, and Hale O Kane Heiau near the settlement of Kaupo. The map details a transition from high volcanic terrain through the Kipahulu Forest Reserve down to the sea, where historic maritime activity is noted at Mokulau Landing and Nuu Landing. Genealogical interest is found within the Kaupo Homesteads and Kalepa Homesteads, while the Kaupo Trail provides a historical route through the Kaupo Gap. The southern coastline is punctuated by numerous named points and bays, from Huakini Bay to Kalepa Pt.
