2013 Map of Koko Head

About this map

O'ahu's southeastern tip is defined by the sharp volcanic geometry of Koko Crater and the developed valleys of the Ko'olau Range. This 2013 survey details a landscape where ancient geography meets modern residential planning, from the coastal settlements of Waimānalo Beach and Hawai'i Kai to the inland ridges of Olomana Ridge and Wiliwilinui Ridge. The map documents the extensive water systems of the windward side, including the Maunawili Ditch, Killua Ditch, and the Korean Tunnel. Along the shoreline, maritime and scientific infrastructure appears via the Waimānalo Landing, Makai Pier, and the University of Hawaii Solar Observatory. Significant ecological and recreational sites like the Koko Crater Botanical Garden and the protected waters of Hanauma Bay highlight the region's focus on conservation and tourism in the early 21st century.
