1963 Map of Lihue

About this map

The coastal commerce and rugged interior of Kauai converge at Lihue, the island's administrative center, as shown in this 1960s-era topographic study. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition from the bustling Nawiliwili Bay and its associated maritime infrastructure, such as the Nawiliwili Light Station, to the dramatic peaks of the Kipu region. Cultural and historical landmarks like the ancient Menehune Fishpond and the Immaculate Conception Sch illustrate the deep layers of human habitation here.
