2013 Map of Waimea Canyon

About this map

Waimea Canyon dominates this Kauai landscape, where the confluence of the Waimea River and its many tributaries has carved deep into the volcanic terrain. High on the western rim, Kōke'e State Park provides access to viewpoints like the Waimea Canyon Lookout. The map reveals a history of remote utility and residency through various scattered locations such as Wiliwili Camp, Lonomea Camp, and Hipalau Camp. Water management is central to the area's development, evidenced by the Mauka Powerhouse and Kepani Reservoir. Numerous dramatic falls, including Waipo'o Falls and Wai'alae Falls, drop from ridges like Kaluahā'ula Ridge into the valleys below. The intricate drainage network of the Makaweli River and Olokele River in the south illustrates the complex watershed that defines this portion of the island.
