About this map

Lihue serves as the focal point of this mid-century Kauai survey, anchored by institutional landmarks such as the Wilcox Memorial Hospital and the Immaculate Conception Ch. The town's educational infrastructure is well-defined, featuring the Wilcox Sch, Lihue High Sch, and Kauai High Sch. Along the coast, the Nawiliwili Light Station stands at Ninini Point, guarding the entrance to Nawiliwili Bay where the Nawiliwili Stream meets the sea.

A notable cultural landmark, the Menehune Fishpond, is situated along the Huleia Stream within the Huleia Valley. The landscape transitions from the developed Lihue Airport and its nearby Ahukini Camp to the dramatic peaks of the south, including Haupu and the profile known as Queen Victorias Profile. This survey captures the island's primary administrative hub during a period of steady growth, evidenced by the cluster of government, medical, and radio facilities like Radio Sta (KTOH).
