About this map

Kaiwaloa Heiau stands as a significant cultural landmark on this coastal portion of Maui, where the steep volcanic ridges meet the Pacific Ocean. The settlement pattern centers around Olowalu, with neighboring residential areas at Mōpua and Kīlea hugging the corridor of the Honoapiilani Hwy. This 2013 survey illustrates the essential water infrastructure of the region, including the Olowalu Ditch and Ukumehame Reservoirs, which serve the leeward slopes.

The coastline is marked by distinctive geographic features like Hekili Point and several beach landings including Awalua and Kulanaokalai Beach. Maritime history is signaled by the Olowalu Wharf, while the rugged interior geography is defined by deep cuts such as Ukumehame Gulch. Transportation is anchored by the coastal highway and local connectors like Olowalu Village Rd, crossing the landscape at the Ukumehame Bridge.
