1916 Map of Waipio

USGS Topo · Published 1951

About this map

Kohala Mountain dominates this northern Hawaiian landscape, where steep valleys and coastal pali create a dramatic transition from the summit peaks to the Pacific Ocean. This survey, conducted shortly before the mid-century, illustrates a complex agricultural and hydraulic network designed to harness the island's water. Significant infrastructure like the Kohala Ditch, Upper Hamakua Ditch, and Lower Hamakua Ditch snakes across the terrain, feeding the coastal sugar operations. The industrial presence is anchored by the Pacific Sugar Mill near Kukuihaele, supported by the Kukuihaele Landing. Deep within the verdant interior, the Waipio River carves through the landscape below Hiilawe Falls. In the southern reaches, the settlement of Waimea sits at the junction of the Puako-Waimea Trail and the Waimea-Kona Road, serving as a hub for the inland Puukapu Homesteads and ranching outposts like Dairy Camp.
