1977 Map of Paia
USGS Topo · Published 1981About this map
Paia and the surrounding coastline of Maui are documented in this orthophotomap through aerial photography captured in late 1976 and early 1977. The imagery reveals the intricate geometry of large-scale agriculture, likely sugarcane, that dominated the landscape between the coastal settlement and the inland areas near Puunene. This specific format combines the geographic precision of a topographic map with the raw visual detail of a photograph, allowing for a clear view of the plantation road networks and the rugged shoreline where the Pacific Ocean meets the north shore. To the east, the map captures the community of Hamakuapoko, providing a detailed look at the island's mid-1970s development before modern expansion shifted the coastal character.
