2017 Map of Kekaha

Inland, the terrain rises sharply into a series of dramatic ridges and deep valleys. Features such as Kauhao Valley, Kā‘aweiki Valley, and Hikimoe Valley showcase the complex erosional patterns of the island. These upper reaches are dotted with smaller water sources like Polihale Spring and higher-altitude catchments including Pu‘uōpae Reservoir and Luā Reservoir. The transition from the flat coastal strip to the steep reaches of Mānā Ridge illustrates the physical divide between the coastal activity and the undeveloped interior.
