1983 Map of Wailuku

About this map

The urban core of Central Maui unfolds across this 1983 revision, showcasing the commercial and residential expansion between Wailuku and Kahului. The coastal landscape is anchored by the deep-water Kahului Harbor and the recreational stretches of Waiehu Beach Park and Waihee Beach Park. Moving inland, the terrain rises sharply into the West Maui Forest Reserve, where the iconic pinnacle of The Needle marks the entrance to Iao Valley. Historical sites are well-documented, from the ancient Halekii-Pihana Heiau State Monument to the Battle of Kepaniwai Historical Marker. The region’s economic transition is visible in the proximity of a Sugar Mill near Puunene to emerging institutions like Maui Community College and Maui Memorial Hospital, reflecting a shift from plantation-era industry to a modern service and educational hub.
