About this map

Māhukona sits at the center of this coastal survey, marking a significant point of maritime access on the northwestern shore of the Island of Hawai'i. The shoreline is defined by a series of prominent volcanic landforms, including Puakea Point, Hā'ena Point, and Kā'oma Point, which enclose small inlets like Holana Bay.

The presence of Honoiipu Landing and the inland landmark Red Tank suggests a landscape shaped by both historic landing activities and localized infrastructure. Access to the rugged northern reaches is provided by the Coast Guard Rd, tracing the transition from the Pacific Ocean to the interior slopes. This survey records a relatively undeveloped stretch of the Kohala coast where name-places for specific points and landings remain the primary markers of human interaction with the sea.
