1957 Map of Lualailua Hills

About this map

Haleakala National Park defines the northern reaches of this landscape, where the Haleakala Crater and peaks like Haupaakea Pk look down toward the southern coast of Maui. The terrain is characterized by a series of deep gulches, including Manawainui Gulch and Kepuni Gulch, which carve through the Kahikinui Forest Reserve and Makawao Forest Reserve. Scattered settlements and landmarks such as Kahikinui House, Hokukano, and Waiopai are connected by the coastal Piilani Highway and various interior jeep trails. The coastline features the Pakowai Natural Arch and prominent points like Nakaohu Pt. This 1957 field survey captures the transition from high-elevation volcanic peaks and forest reserves down to the remote coastal ranching and maritime areas of the Makawao and Hana Districts.
