2024 Map of Niihau South

About this map

Halali'i Lake and Halulu Lake dominate the low-lying northern interior of this coastal terrain, revealing the unique hydrology of the island's southern reach. The settlement patterns are concentrated along the western shoreline, with Nonopapa and Ke'elinawili situated near the coastal edge. To the south, the land narrows toward the prominent volcanic feature at Kawaihoa, which stands as a distinct landmark overlooking Kaumuhonu Bay. The geography is defined by a succession of beaches and points, from Kamalino Beach in the west to the isolated Po'ooneone Beach on the eastern shore. Valleys such as Ki'iala'a Valley and Kala'ala'au Valley cut through the northern slopes, while the interior remains largely open, punctuated by local landmarks like Kāwa'ewa'e and Mau'uloa. This map provides a detailed view of the island's natural coastal boundaries and internal landmarks away from more developed regions.
