1996 Map of Kealakekua

About this map

Keolonahihi State Historical Park sits along the Kona coast, anchoring a landscape where ancient land divisions meet twentieth-century agricultural and residential development. This mid-1990s survey illustrates the complex ahupuaʻa boundaries that still define the region, including Honalo, Maihi, and Kawanui. The coastal margin is dotted with recreational and historical sites like Pahoehoe Beach Park and White Sands Beach Park, while the upland slopes reflect the area's coffee-growing heritage centered around the Kona Branch Univ of Hawaii Agricultural Experiment Sta. Interior transportation is marked by the historic Judd Trail and Rock Trail, which cut across the volcanic terrain and old lava flows. Settlements such as Kealakekua, Kainaliu, and Holualoa serve as the primary hubs, connected by winding roads that climb from the Pacific Ocean toward the inland heights.
