About this map

‘Au‘au Channel separates the islands in this coastal survey, focusing on the maritime corridor between West Maui and the eastern shores of Lāna‘i. The coastline of Lāna‘i is marked by the small settlement at Waiopae and the nearby Wai‘ōpae waters. The area is defined by its landings, which served as vital transit points for the local economy and inter-island travel. On the western edge of the channel, Halepalaoa Landing provides a specific point of reference for historical shoreline activity, while the distant Kaanapali Landing is noted across the water. The terrestrial landscape is sparse, featuring the Kāhe‘a Gulch and the area of Kāhe‘a, illustrating the intersection of volcanic terrain and the sea in Maui County.
