2013 Map of Keahole Point

About this map

Kona International Airport at Keahole dominates the northern shoreline of this coastal Hawai'i landscape, where modern infrastructure meets deeply rooted cultural sites. The western edge is defined by the Pacific Ocean, with jagged volcanic points such as Keahole Point and Kaiwi Point stretching into the sea. Historical layers are visible in the numerous temple sites along the coast, including Hale o Mano Heiau and Ahuena Heiau, which indicate the long-standing significance of this waterfront. The area near Honokōhau shows the transition from traditional resources like the Kaloko Fishpond to contemporary maritime activity at the Honokōhau Small Boat Harbor. Transportation routes including the Old Mamalahoa Trl and various residential drives weave through the lava fields, connecting the airport corridor to the settlements and beaches of the West Hawai'i coast.
