About this map

Keomuku and the northern shoreline of Lanai are defined by a landscape of dramatic erosion and deep-cut drainages that flow into the Kalohi Channel. This 2013 survey details the network of gulches, including Maunalei Gulch and Hauola Gulch, which segment the coastal terrain. The presence of the Kaa Fishpond near the eastern edge suggests traditional Hawaiian aquaculture practices preserved along this rugged coast.

Further inland, the map traces the transition from coastal points like Kūkui Point to higher elevations such as Nīninīwai Hill and Hinuhinu Pali. Infrastructure is sparse, characterized by unpaved routes like Mahana Trl and Lanaihale Trl that navigate the ridges between gulches. The settlement at Federation Camp and the coastal site of Poaiwa represent the small human footprint in a region largely dominated by natural geological features.
