Maps

The Hawaiian Government Survey, which occurred during the mid to late 1800s, established to first comprehensive survey Hawaiʻi's lands following the Māhele. On our Maps pages, we have made available for you, Hawaiian Government Survey Maps of Hāmākua (moku).

Hawaiian Kingdom Records

In January 1893, Mōʻīwahine Liliʻuokalani, the reigning monarch of the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi, was illegally overthrown by a small group of missionary descendants and American businessmen, supported by US Marines. Today, we can still access the vast repository of records kept by the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi at the Hawaiʻi State Archives in Honolulu. Here, we have made available just a few of these records, specific to Hāmākua.
