1995 Map of Mahukona

About this map

Mahukona Harbor serves as the focal point for this coastal survey of Hawaii's northwestern shore, where the land meets the deep waters of the Alenuihaha Channel. The landscape is a corridor of historical significance, home to the Kahola Historical Sites State Monument and several former settlement locations identified as Honoipu Landing (Site) and Haena (Site). The shoreline is deeply etched with small inlets like Umiwai Bay and Holana Bay, reflecting a maritime-dependent history that transitioned into modern utility and conservation. Inland, the terrain is marked by land divisions or landmarks such as Upolu, Honoipu, and Kapaanui. Infrastructure for the era includes the Upolu Point Loran Station Coast Guard Res and various radio facilities and water tanks, indicating the region's role in mid-century navigation and coastal defense.
