About this map

Deep-cut gulches and coastal plateaus define the Hamakua Coast on this 1993 edition, where agricultural settlements like Pa'auilo and Kuka'iau are perched above the Pacific Ocean. The landscape is characterized by a series of parallel drainage systems, including Keehia and Ka'awikiwiki Stream, which carve through the volcanic slopes from the Hamakua Forest Reserve down to rocky points such as Alakaha Point.

Evidence of historical land use is visible in the numerous designated land tracts, such as Pa'auilo Homesteads and Waipunalei Homesteads, reflecting the region's plantation-era layout. Smaller residential clusters like Milo Village and Kukui Village are located near O'okala, while the map also identifies the Akasaki Camp (Site), providing specific locations for genealogists and local historians tracking former worker settlements and homestead boundaries in this coastal corridor.
