About this map

Lihue and its surrounding coastal settlements are documented here during a period of significant regional development. The landscape is defined by the vital industrial and transport hub at Nawiliwili Bay, where the port meets the Lihue Airport. Inland, the map reveals the institutional core of the island, featuring the Kauai Community College, Wilcox Memorial Hospital, and the Immaculate Conception Sch.

South of the urban center, the terrain shifts into the protected acreage of the Huleia National Wildlife Refuge, which encompasses the Menehune Fishpond along the Huleia Stream. The sharp topography of the Kipu region is punctuated by landmarks such as Hokulei Peak and the distinctive Queen Victorias Profile, illustrating the contrast between the developed coastal plains and the steep, ridged interior that overlooks the Kauai Channel.
