2024 Map of Makaha Point

About this map

Makaha Point and the dramatic coastal ridges of Kaua'i define this landscape along the Pacific Ocean. This survey details a complex system of valleys and ridgelines, from Honopu Valley in the north to Kauhao Valley in the south. The area is characterized by a network of footpaths and administrative routes, including the Miloli'i Ridge Trl and the Makaha Arboretum Trl, which provide access to the interior. Coastal features such as Queens Bath, Honopu Arch, and Nualolo Reef highlight the meeting of volcanic terrain and sea. The presence of the Makaha Ridge facility and the small settlement at Mākole illustrate the modern human footprint within the larger Napali region, where steep drainages like Nu'alolo Stream have carved deep into the basaltic slopes.
