1993 Map of Makahalau

USGS Topo · Published 2001

About this map

Mana and the settlement at Makahalau anchor this high-elevation landscape on the slopes of Mauna Kea, where the transition between the South Kohala and Hamakua Districts is marked by a network of ranching infrastructure. Numerous corrals and extensive rock walls crisscross the terrain, tracing the limits of traditional land divisions like Kamoku, Nienie, and Pa'Auhau. The map reveals a rugged geography defined by deep drainage channels such as Kuupahaa Gulch and Kemole Gulch, which cut through volcanic features like Pu'uhuluhulu and Pu'umakahalau. The southern portion of the sheet rises into the Mauna Kea Forest Reserve, showing a sparsely developed area where 4WD tracks provide the primary access to remote water tanks and family-named landmarks like Paliho'oukapapa. A lone Cemetery near Mana offers a point of interest for genealogists tracking early ranching families in the region.
