1952 Map of Molokai Airport

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

Hoolehua Homesteads define the structured landscape of central Molokai in the early 1950s, where a regular grid of avenues like Farrington Ave and Moomomi Ave meet the more organic terrain of the volcanic slopes. The Molokai Airport serves as a modern hub for the island, complete with its aeronautical beacon. To the west, the landscape rises toward Mauna Loa, marked by numerous deep gulches such as Hauakea Gulch and Anahaki Gulch that drain toward the northern coast. These coastal reaches include named points and coves like Moomomi and Kawaaloa, while the southern shore is defined by extensive mud flats and a coral reef near Kolo Wharf. Local landmarks such as Puu Nana and the settlement at Mahana provide critical reference points for the area's mid-century topography.
