About this map

Saddle Road Junction serves as the primary transportation node in this high-elevation landscape on the Island of Hawai‘i. The area is defined by a series of prominent volcanic cinder cones, or pu‘u, including Nohonaohae, Nohonaohaeiki, and Puu Huluhulu. These geological features overlook a network of seasonal watercourses such as Kamakaoa Gulch and Kemole Gulch, which illustrate the drainage patterns from the surrounding volcanic slopes.

Modern infrastructure is represented by the Waimea-Kohala Airport in the north and the intersection of key transit routes like Waikoloa Rd and N Alulike Rd. This 2013 survey provides a detailed look at the interface between the arid upland terrain and the essential road networks connecting the interior of the island. Landforms like Holoholoku and Puu Keanahuehue stand as significant landmarks for those studying the physical geography and land divisions of the Waimea region.
