About this map

Deeply incised gulches define the northern coastline of Lāna‘i, where the island meets the Kalohi Channel and the ‘Au‘au Channel. This coastal landscape is marked by numerous historic sites and natural landmarks, from the Kaa Fishpond near Keomuku to the steep cliffs of Hinuhinu Pali. Local geography is characterized by a series of parallel drainage systems, including Maunalei Gulch, Hauola Gulch, and Nāhoko Gulch, which descend from the central highlands toward the sea.

Settlement patterns follow the narrow coastal shelf and the few established interior routes like the Kanepu‘u Hwy and Keomuku Rd. Notable cultural features include the Lanai Veterans Cem and several named points such as Kākui Point. The presence of established trails like the Lanaihale Trl and Mahana Trl suggests a network of movement through the island's interior that predates modern infrastructure, connecting the coast with upland areas such as Pu‘uale‘ale‘a.
