2013 Map of Molokai Airport

About this map

Molokai Airport and its surrounding aviation infrastructure, including the Walahewahewa Airway Beacon, anchor the central plateau of this Hawaiian landscape. The terrain transitions from the coastal reaches of the Pacific Ocean at Kalani Beach and Mo‘omomi Beach to the interior highlands where Maunaloa Reservoir provides a critical water source. The settlement pattern is characterized by the agricultural operations at the Maui Community College Farms and the residential grid of Waihuna. Numerous gulches, such as Kahu‘uwai Gulch and Mane‘opapa Gulch, carve through the land toward the northern coast, while the southern shore is marked by Kaumanamana Point and the historical site of Kolo Wharf. This survey captures a moment when the island's central corridor supported both civil aviation and essential agricultural research.
