2013 Map of Niihau North OE N

About this map

The crescent-shaped islet of Lehua stands as a prominent landmark in the Pacific Ocean, separated from the northern edge of Ni'ihau by the waters of the Lehua Channel. This marine-focused survey captures the isolated coastal features of the region, where the terrain rises at Kaunuakalā and Keaulepe. On the northern coast of Ni'ihau, the shoreline is defined by modest indentations such as Ka'aku'u Bay and Keamano Bay, flanked by the distinct landforms of Kamakalepo Point and Kīkepa Point. The map illustrates a stark, maritime environment dominated by open water and narrow coastal landmasses, reflecting the remote character of this part of Kauai County.
