1965 Map of Makaha Point

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

The Na Pali Coast of Kauai is revealed in this 1960s survey as a landscape defined by dramatic verticality and deep-cut valleys. Ancient cultural sites such as Polihale Heiau and Kapaula Heiau are recorded along the coastal terrace, anchoring the region's indigenous history. Inland, the topography transitions from the high ridges of Milolii Ridge and Makaha Ridge down to the coastal plains of Barking Sands, where the Auxiliary Landing Field Bonham signifies mid-century military infrastructure. Local water management is visible through the Lua Reservoir and a network of ditches and wells supporting the nearby settlements of Mana and Saki Mana. The map also captures the early preservation of the island's natural wonders within the boundaries of Milolii State Park and Kokee State Park, preserving a detailed look at the island's traditional land divisions and remote trail systems.
