About this map

The dramatic volcanic landscape of East Maui dominates this survey, transitioning from the residential and agricultural slopes of the Upcountry into the protected wilderness of Haleakalā National Park. This high-altitude terrain is defined by its numerous volcanic peaks, including Pāka'ao'ao and Pu'u'ula'ula, which overlook the vast Haleakalā Crater and the steep escarpments of Leleiwi Pali. The map provides a detailed view of the infrastructure supporting this unique ecosystem, from the Olinda Administrative Site and Olinda Reservoir to the trails that navigate the Ko'olau Gap.

Lower elevations show the established communities of Kula, Olinda, and Pūlehu, where a network of roads like Crater RD and Kekaulike Ave connects scattered settlements. The area is deeply incised by a series of gulches, such as Kaluapulani Gulch and Hāpapa Gulch, which channel drainage from the summit down toward the coast, illustrating the hydrologic patterns essential to Maui's agricultural windward and leeward zones.
