2013 Map of Lualailua Hills

About this map

The Luala'ilua Hills anchor the rugged southern slope of Maui in this 2013 topographic study, where the island's volcanic architecture descends sharply toward the Pacific Ocean. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of drainage channels, including Pāhihi Gulch, Wailaulau Gulch, and the prominent Manawainui Gulch that carve through the arid terrain. High-altitude landmarks such as Haleakalā Crater and Haupa'akea Peak loom at the northern extent, while the Skyline Trl and Waipoli Rd provide rare access to the interior. Along the coastline, scattered coastal points and settlements like Alena, Kipapa, and Naka'aha mark the historic interface between the upland volcanic fields and the sea. The presence of the Kula Pipeline indicates the vital infrastructure required to manage water resources across this dry, windward region.
