1984 Map of Niihau North

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

The northern reaches of Niihau, within the Waimea District, are characterized by a rugged volcanic landscape and the vital presence of water sources in an arid environment. The settlement of Puuwai sits on the western coast, connected to the interior by a series of trails and a prominent fence line that bisects the island's midsection. High points like Paniau and Kaali rise above numerous steep-walled valleys, including Mokoula Valley and Keanauhi Valley, which drain toward the coast. Off the northern tip, across the Lehua Channel, lies the crescent-shaped island of Lehua, home to the Lehua State Seabird Sanctuary. This map highlights the isolated infrastructure of the island in the mid-1980s, featuring landmarks such as a Ham Radio Tower and water management features like Loe Lake, Stock Pond, and Pal Well.
