1957 Map of Lualailua Hills

About this map

Haleakala National Park defines the northern reaches of this coastal landscape on Maui’s southern slope, where the volcanic terrain descends from the high peaks of Haupaakea Pk toward the Pacific Ocean. The map documents a sparsely settled region transitionally managed through several large forestry units, including the Kula Forest Reserve and Kahikinui Forest Reserve. Cultural landmarks are few but significant for local history, including the Kahikinui House and the CAA Repeater Sta located near the district boundary. The land is heavily dissected by deep drainages such as Waiopai Gulch and Manawainui Gulch, which cut through the volcanic soil towards prominent coastal markers like Nakaohu Pt. Transportation is limited primarily to the Piilani Highway and a network of jeep trails connecting isolated points like Hokukano and Manukani.
