About this map

Nāpali's dramatic coastline on the island of Kaua'i defines this coastal survey, where deep drainage valleys meet the Pacific Ocean. The landscape is characterized by a series of significant canyons including Nu'alolo Valley, Miloli'i Valley, and Mākaha Valley, each separated by prominent ridges such as Miloli'i Ridge and Mākaha Ridge. Public access and recreation are centered within Kokee State Park, which includes the Pine Forest Drive Picnic Area and Kāki'oke'oke'o Picnic Area. Along the shoreline, historical points of interest such as Keawanui Landing and Keawanui contrast with natural landmarks like the Honopu Arch and Queens Bath. The map reveals the intricate network of watercourses, including the Paaiki Falls, which feed into the rugged coast at locations like Nualolo Kai Beach and Miloli'i Beach. The interior is marked by high ridgelines like Kaunuohua Ridge, indicating the steep elevation changes characteristic of this region of Hawaii.
