1989 Map of Keanauhi Valley

About this map

The crescent-shaped island of Lehua sits north of the main coast, designated as the Lehua State Seabird Sanctuary and housing a U S Coast Guard Reservation. This coastal region of Kauai, as documented in the late 1980s, is defined by its dramatic erosion patterns, where numerous deep gulches like Mokoula Valley and Kanalo Valley drain toward the Pacific Ocean. The landscape transitions from the jagged shoreline of Keawanui Bay and Ka'aukuru Bay up into the interior heights, where a solitary Communication Tower stands as a rare sign of modern infrastructure.
