About this map

Haleakala National Park defines the northern reaches of this coastal landscape on the southern slopes of Maui, where the high summits of Haupa'akea Peak and Magnetic Peak give way to a network of steep drainage channels. These gulches, including Manawainui Gulch and Kepuni Gulch, descend through a series of protected lands like the Kula Forest Reserve and Kahikinui Forest Reserve. The terrain is marked by volcanic features such as the Luala'ilua Hills and coastal landmarks like the Natural Arch at Päköwai.

While largely undeveloped, the map reveals isolated structures and points of human activity, such as Kahikinui House and the Radio facility Communication Tower near the wilderness boundary. The coastline is punctuated by remote points including Wekea Point and Kiakeana Point. This 1995 revision maintains the record of established paths like the Sliding Sands Trail while documenting the topographical transition from the crater's edge to the Pacific Ocean.
