The basis of this research project utilizes a 1936 Tax Map Key representative of a portion of the Waipā ahupuaʻa. The original map is treated as a reference point and is used to overlay information obtained from source documents to map out the ahupuaʻa's water resources. Three versions of the Tax Map Key have been pivotal in the completion of this project and can be accessed for viewing below.
