1995 Map of Kipahulu

About this map

Kipahulu and the surrounding coastline of the Hāna District occupy this late-twentieth-century study, where the steep transitions from the volcanic interior meet the Alenuihāhā Channel. The settlement patterns here are defined by deep coastal gulches such as Pukulua Gulch and Pōhakunāhala Gulch, with small communities like Wailua and Koali linked by a winding perimeter road. Evidence of historical land use and preservation is clear in the Waiohonu-Kaki'o Homesteads and the sprawling Hana Forest Reserve. Along the shoreline, landmark features like the Seven Pools and a historical monument near the Kipahulu coast reflect the intersection of traditional landscape and managed parkland within the Haleakalā National Park boundaries. Several cemeteries and water tanks are noted, providing specific points of interest for genealogists tracing family locations near the old landing.
