1993 Map of Molokai Airport

About this map

Molokai Airport sits at the heart of this central Molokai landscape, surrounded by the organized residential and agricultural grids of Hoolehua Homesteads and Palaau Homesteads. The map reveals a transition from the structured homesteading areas in the east to the high, gulch-cut terrain of Mauna Loa in the west. Small settlements like Mahana and Kukui are scattered along the slopes, while the northern coastline is defined by rugged points such as Paualaia Point and the sands of Moomomi. This 1993 planimetry also highlights a significant Naval Reservation adjacent to the airport, and coastal heritage features like the Pakanaka Fishpond near the Mud Flats to the south. An extensive network of gulches, including Kakaaukuu Gulch and Anahaki Gulch, drains the volcanic uplands toward the Pacific Ocean.
