About this map

The town of Lihue serves as the central hub of this eastern Kaua'i landscape, where residential and commercial streets meet the transport infrastructure of Lihue Airport. The map documents the developed corridors of Puhi, Pua Loke, and Kupolo, contrasting the modern expansion of Kauai Community Coll with cultural landmarks like the Halehaka Japanese Cem. South of the town, the terrain rises sharply toward the iconic ridgeline of Ha'upu and the distinctive Queen Victorias Profile.

Coastal geography is defined by the deep indentation of Nawiliwili Bay and the ancient stonework of the Menehune Fishpond along Huleia Stream. The topographical detail reveals the complex drainage of the Huleia Valley and the numerous small bays and points stretching toward Kipu Kai Beach and Gillins Beach. This 2017 survey captures the island's transition from the coastal plains to the high, forested peaks of Hokulei Peak and Hokunui.
