About this map

The coastal settlements of Kama‘ole and Lilioholo line the southwestern Maui shore on this 2013 survey, where the developed waterfront meets the rugged volcanic slopes of Haleakalā. This transition from the sea at Charley Young Beach to the interior highlands is defined by a dense network of erosional drainages, including Waipu‘ilani Gulch and Kūlanihāko‘i Gulch. These features illustrate the natural hydrology of the leeward coast, carrying seasonal runoff from landmarks like Puu o Koha down toward the Pacific Ocean.

Inland, the map reveals agricultural and residential patterns characteristic of the Upcountry region. The presence of Pulehu Camp and Camp K-Three speaks to the island’s plantation history and the systematic organization of labor and housing in the mid-elevation fields. Near the northern boundary, the expansion of Pukalani shows more modern residential development, contrasted by the open terrain of Nāwāwaeo‘alika and the many gulches that carve the landscape between Kaipoioi Gulch and Hāpapa Gulch.
