1968 Map of Molokai Airport

About this map

Hoolehua Homesteads define the northern agricultural landscape of this central Molokai region, where a structured grid of avenues like Farrington Ave and Pala Au Ave contrasts with the deep, irregular drainage of Manalo Gulch and Hauakea Gulch. The terrain rises from the Pacific Ocean coastline at Moomomi toward the volcanic heights of Kaluakoi and Mauna Loa, reaching landmarks such as Puu Nana. This 1960s revision captures the island’s aviation hub at Molokai Airport and the complex system of aqueducts and water tanks required to sustain this landscape. To the south, the shoreline transitions into mud flats and coral reefs near Kolo Wharf, while prominent cinder cones like Puu Holehua stand as markers above the gulches. The survey reflects a period of mid-century infrastructure, balancing homesteading tracts with the industrial needs of a pumping station and localized water management.
