Description:

Abstract:

This dataset shows the ahupuaa (traditional land divisions) of the Waianae moku (traditional district), which is the Area of Focus for the Waianae Ecological Characterization. It was clipped from a dataset that shows the Waianae ahupuaa in relation to the Hawaiian Island of Oahu.

Purpose:

The purpose of this data set is to display the ahupuaa within the Waianae moku, or Area of Focus, on the Hawaiian Island of Oahu. It is part of a larger effort to provide the Waianae community, located on the western side of Oahu, ecological and cultural spatial data to assist in their land and resource management efforts.

Supplemental_Information:

This shape file describes the major land divisions of Wai`anae, O`ahu as shown in maps from the United States Geologic Survey (USGS) 7.5 minute quadrangle series published in the early 1950's. The place names used in these maps are probably from maps made in the early 1900's by the Hawaii Territory Survey.

The USGS's description of Wai`anae land divisions appears to be the basis for the "ahupua`a" (a traditional Hawaiian land divisions) shown in "Sites of Oahu" by Elspeth P. Sterling and Catherine C. Summers (Bernice P. Bishop Museum, 1978).

It is interesting to note that in both the USGS maps and "Sites of Oahu", the land division called "Wai`anae `Uka" is not part of Wai`anae District, but included in Wahiawa District. Wahiawa District was created in 1913 and consists of the "ahupua`a" of Wahiawa and Wai`anae `Uka (see "Sites of Oahu", page 134).

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

This data set was clipped using ESRI ArcGIS to show only the ahupuaa for the Waianae moku. It was clipped from the state shapefile entitled waianaemodernland that shows the Waianae ahupuaa in relation to the entire Hawaiian Island of Oahu. It was then converted from UTM Zone 4 Old Hawaiian to UTM Zone 4 NAD 83.

The original file was created from information contained in maps from the United States Geologic Survey (USGS) 7.5 minute quadrangle series published in the early 1950's and "Sites of Oahu" by Elspeth P. Sterling and Catherine C. Summers (Bernice P. Bishop Museum, 1978).
