About this map

The Pacific Ocean dominates this maritime survey, illustrating the vast waters surrounding the northwestern reaches of the Hawaiian archipelago. Positioned in the remote maritime territory of Kauai Co Hawaii, the map documents the administrative boundary that cuts through open sea. This particular area of the mid-Pacific serves as a primary reference for the offshore jurisdiction of the county, where no land masses are present. The boundary line for Kauai Co Hawaii provides a rare look at how oceanic space is partitioned and surveyed by the U.S. Geological Survey for navigational and administrative purposes.
