2013 Map of Waianae

About this map

Kāne'ākī Heiau stands as a significant cultural landmark in the upper reaches of the Mākaha Valley, highlighting the deep indigenous heritage preserved on this West O'ahu coastline. The transition from the steep inland peaks of Pu'ukawiwi and the Kamaileunu Ridge to the developed shorelines of Mākaha and Mā'ili illustrates the region's modern residential growth. Along the coast, distinctive geological features like the basaltic Mauna Lahilahi and Kepuhi Point frame the beaches, while the Waianae Kai Military Reservation Beach indicates the federal presence near Pōka'ī Bay. The interior landscape is marked by essential water infrastructure and ancient sites, including the Lualualei Reservoir and Kamailie Heiau, which sit between residential subdivisions and the rugged heights of the Pāhe'ehe'e Ridge.
