About this map

The coastal cliffs and deep valleys of the Kohala Mountain region dominate this landscape, reflecting a time when sugar production and complex water engineering defined the island's economy. The Pacific Sugar Mill at Kukuihaele served as a focal point for the eastern coastline, supported by the Kukuihaele Landing for maritime transport. An intricate system of irrigation, including the Kohala Ditch and the Upper Hamakua Ditch, illustrates the massive effort required to divert water from the rainy windward valleys to thirsty agricultural fields.
