This is the 1878 / 1906 Hawaiian Government Survey and Hawaiian Territorial Survey map of Lanai, Hawaiian Islands. Jacob Brown and Marcus Monsarrat produced this detailed survey of Lanai in 1878, publishing at that time the preliminary version of the present map, the first to correctly capture Lanai's form. Today Lanai is the smallest publicly accessible inhabited island. Here, Lanai's ahupua'a, traditional land subdivisions, stretch across the island. The few roads are illustrated, along with a handful of foot trails. (more details)
