1983 Map of Waialeale

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Waialeale and the towering peak of Kawakini dominate this central Kauai landscape, marking one of the wettest spots on earth during the early 1980s. The terrain is defined by a radial drainage system where the Wainiha River, Hanalei River, and the forks of the Wailua River descend from the high interior plateaus. The hydrological complexity of the island is visible through numerous gaging stations and infrastructure like the Upper Powerhouse and Lower Powerhouse, connected by an intricate system of ditches and flumes near the Lihue-Koloa Forest Reserve.
