1983 Map of Puu O Kali

About this map

Puu o Kali rises prominently above the complex agricultural and residential divisions of the Upcountry Maui landscape. This 1983 revision illustrates a transition from the dense Kula Homesteads to the more open slopes descending toward the Pacific Ocean. The map meticulously details the unique homesteading pattern of the era, including the Pulehu Iki and Kamehameha Homesteads, which are defined by long, narrow parcels designed to provide residents with diverse elevations for farming. Civil infrastructure is marked by the Haleakala Highway and the numerous gulches like Waiakoa Gulch and Kulanihakoi Gulch that channel seasonal runoff down the mountain. Local history is preserved in the location of the Pau Hele Cemetery, Lihue Cem, and the Rice Memorial Park near Keokea.
