1983 Map of Makaha Point

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

The Pacific Missile Range Facility anchors the coastal landscape near Nohili Point, where military infrastructure meets the natural geography of western Kauai. This 1983 revision illustrates a complex intersection of defense installations and preserved lands, including the extensive Polihale State Park and Kokee State Park. The terrain is defined by a series of dramatic ridges and valleys, such as Makaha Valley and Milolii Valley, that descend from the high interior Na Pali Kona Forest Reserve toward the Pacific Ocean. Notable cultural sites are preserved within this landscape, including a Heiau near Polihale Spring and the historic Saki Mana (Site) near the southern edge. The map also captures specialized land uses, from the Kuia Natural Area Reserve to industrial features like the Mana WT and Lua Reservoir, reflecting the island's dual roles in conservation and utility.
