2017 Map of Papaikou

About this map

The coastal settlements of Pepeekeo, Papaikou, and Paukaa dot the Hamakua Coast in this modern survey, which details the rugged windward side of the Island of Hawai‘i. The region's plantation history is rooted at the Pepeekeo Mill and visible in the network of camp roads such as Andrade Camp Rd and Stable Camp Rd. The landscape is defined by deep gulches carved by numerous watercourses including the Honoli‘i Stream and Alakahi Stream, many of which terminate in dramatic points like Pepeekeo Point or sheltered inlets like Onomea Bay. Genealogists may find interest in Alae Cem and Mauna Kea Memorial Park located at the southern end of the quadrangle. Significant landmarks such as Onomea Arch and Waialae Falls highlight the natural geological features of this coastline where it meets the Pacific Ocean near Hilo Bay.
