1991 Map of Waimea Canyon

About this map

Waimea Canyon State Park and the surrounding wilderness of western Kauai are meticulously documented in this late 20th-century survey. The landscape is defined by the deep incisions of the Waimea River and its numerous tributaries, including Mohihi Stream and Kawaikoi Stream, which create a complex network of ridges and valleys like Kohua Ridge and Wahane Valley. This era of management is characterized by a mix of recreation and resource protection, evidenced by the many remote outposts such as Lonernea Camp, Hipalau Camp, and the Waialae Cabin. Significant landmarks like Waipoo Falls and the Waimea Canyon Lookout highlight the area's geological drama, while the Mauka Powerhouse and various gaging stations indicate the active management of the island's water resources within the Na Pali-Kona Forest Reserve.
