2024 Map of Niihau North

About this map

Ki‘i stands as a focal point on this northern portion of Ni‘ihau, where the island's coastline meets the Kaulakahi Channel. The map illustrates a dramatic transition from the low-lying coastal stretches at Ka‘aku‘u Beach and Keamano Beach to the steep, dissected topography of the interior. A series of deeply incised valleys, such as Mokouia Valley, Kanalo Valley, and Ko‘olaukani Valley, define the western landforms, channeling seasonal drainage like Waiakanaio Stream toward the sea.
