1983 Map of Molokai East

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Kalaupapa Peninsula dominates the northern coast of this survey, home to the Kalaupapa Settlement and the Molokai Lighthouse. This 1983 edition details a landscape defined by dramatic elevation changes, where the high interior of the Molokai Forest Reserve drops into steep valleys and coastal points like Lamaloa Head and Cape Halawa. Along the southern coast, a dense concentration of traditional Hawaiian aquaculture is evident, featuring numerous named sites such as the Ualapue Fishpond, Kanoa Fishpond, and Pahiomu Fishpond. These features reflect a long history of maritime resource management stretching between Kawela and Pukoo. The map also captures the isolation of the northern windward valleys, including the Pelekunu (Site) and the high Papalaua Falls, which remain disconnected from the primary road network like the Maunahui Road.
