2024 Map of Lanai South OE W

About this map

Kaumalapau Harbor serves as a critical maritime gateway on the western coast of Lanai, as documented in this 2024 topographic survey. This area of Maui County shows the intersection of essential infrastructure and dramatic geology, where Kaumalapau sits at the foot of numerous erosional features including Kalamaiki Gulch and Kalamanui Gulch. The interior uplands are defined by the Lanai Airport and the settlement of Iliolono, connected to the coast via Lanai Airport Rd. To the south, the landscape is dominated by the massive coastal cliffs of Kaholo Pali, terminating at Palaoa Point. This coastline is punctuated by several small inlets such as Kaunolū Bay and Māmaki Bay, while the offshore landmark of Nānāhoa stands near Hōnōpū Bay. The map provides a detailed view of the contemporary transportation network and physical landmarks like Pu‘u‘ula‘ula that define this section of the island.
