2024 Map of Waimea Canyon

About this map

Waimea Canyon dominates this 2024 landscape on the island of Kauai, where the intricate drainage network of the Waimea River and its tributaries carve through volcanic ridges. The map highlights significant vertical features such as Waipo'o Falls and Awini Falls, which mark the sharp transitions between high plateau ridges like Kaluaha'ula Ridge and the deep valley floors. While much of the terrain is defined by natural watercourses like the Mohihi Stream and Olokele River, traces of human infrastructure appear along the western edge with Kokee Rd and Halemanu Rd. This modern survey captures a complex system of named ridges and valleys, including Oma'o Valley and Nahaleoko'o Ridge, alongside the Kepani Reservoir in the southern reaches, illustrating the intersection of the island's natural watershed and managed water resources.
