1983 Map of Lualailua Hills

About this map

Haleakala National Park and the vast Kahikinui Forest Reserve dominate this landscape on the southern slopes of Maui, descending from the high volcanic rim of Haleakala Crater down to the rugged Pacific coast. The terrain is marked by a complex network of volcanic features and drainage gulches, including Manawainui and Waiopai. Small, isolated settlements and landmarks such as Hokukano and Kahikinui House are connected by a system of 4WD tracks and historic paths like the Manukani Trail and the Lower Trail. Along the shoreline, the map identifies specific coastal landmarks including Nakaohu Pt and a Natural Arch at Pakowai. This survey illustrates the transition from high-altitude protected forest lands to the arid, lower coastal reaches, reflecting the traditional land divisions and early modern infrastructure of the Makawao and Hana Districts.
