1983 Map of Nahiku

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Nahiku Homesteads and the small settlement of Nahiku sit perched above the north Maui coastline, where the Hana Highway winds through the Koolau Forest Reserve. The map illustrates the island's extreme verticality, rising from the Pacific Ocean at Honolulunui Bay to the high alpine reaches of Haleakala National Park. Within the Haleakala Crater, hikers and researchers can trace the paths of the Sliding Sands Trail and the Halemauu Trail, which pass by landmarks like Puu Naue and the Kapaloa Cabin. The landscape is defined by deep erosion, from the precipitous Kipahulu Valley to the numerous streams like Wailua Stream that feed into Kopiliula Falls. This 1983 revision captures the transition from coastal agricultural lands to the protected wilderness of the volcanic heights, including the remote Paliku Cabin near the Kaupo Gap.
