Nahiku Hawaii Wailua USGS 7.5-Min Topo Map 1983 Vintage

$42

Printed in its year of first publication, 1983, this USGS 7.5-minute topographic sheet is in excellent condition, very lightly handled and never folded. It covers a stretch of Maui’s windward coast roughly 21 miles east of Kahului, taking in part of Haleakala National Park and the Haleakala Wilderness along with the community of Wailua within the quad boundaries. The Nahiku area sits in the lush rainforest country of the road to Hana, where 40-foot contours trace the deep gulches and steep drops that define this side of the island. Because the sheet lies flat, it would frame well.
