1957 Map of Keawanui Bay

Evidence of historical habitation and movement is visible through scattered Ruins and an extensive network of trails and jeep trails that traverse the arid, rising terrain. Named ahupuaʻa and land sections such as Lapakahi, Paoo, and Kaiholen stretch from the coast toward the upland ridges. These land units reflect long-standing indigenous spatial organization, preserved in the mapping of a region characterized more by its geographic heritage than modern development.
