1978 Map of Koloa
USGS Topo · Published 1981About this map
Koloa and Kalaheo anchor this coastal landscape on the island of Kauai, captured during the late 1970s. The orthophoto format provides a clear view of the land-use patterns of the era, contrasting the geometric agricultural fields with the dramatic, shadowed ridges of the Alexander Reservation. A prominent landmark in the southeastern portion of the quadrangle is the Waita Reservoir, a large body of water positioned just inland from the Pacific Ocean coastline. The settlement patterns show the development of these communities amidst a landscape deeply shaped by water management and topographic elevation changes, with roads and dwellings concentrated along the lower-lying coastal plains and valley floors.
