Mākena and the leeward slopes of Maui define this coastal landscape, stretching from the developed resorts of Wailea south to the volcanic remnants at Cape Kina'u. The map reveals a transition from modern coastal infrastructure along S Kihei Rd and Wailea Alanui Dr to the more rural, high-elevation settlements like 'Ulupalakua and Keokea. Genealogists will find several notable burial grounds, including the Keawala'i Congregational Church Cem near Keawala'i Makena Bay and the Saint James the Lesser Catholic Church Cem perched higher on the mountain side. The southern reaches are dominated by volcanic features such as Pu'uōla'i and Kalua o Lapa, leading to the remote shoreline of La Perouse Bay. This documentation provides a clear view of how residential growth around Keawakapu Beach and Ulua Beach meets the preserved cultural and natural landmarks of the southern coast.
