About this map

Haleakala dominates the landscape of East Maui, where the transition from agricultural homesteads to protected wilderness is clearly delineated. The map details a complex system of land divisions, including Haleakala Homesteads, Kamehameiki Homesteads, and Waiohuli-Keokea Homesteads, reflecting the managed settlement patterns on the mountain's leeward slopes. These established communities like Waiakoa and Pulehu give way to the forested upper elevations of the Makawao Forest Reserve and Koolau Forest Reserve.

High-altitude landmarks are prominent within the Haleakala National Park, featuring the Haleakala Crater itself and peaks such as Red Hill and Magnetic Peak. Researchers can trace the infrastructure of the era, from the Olinda State Facility and Olinda Reservoir to the Haleakala Highway as it winds toward the Visitor Center Pakaoao (White Hill). The map also identifies remote locations like Holua Cabin and the former Ukulele Camp (Site) near the Koolau Gap.
