Kauai is covered by 11 topos, as shown in the illustration left. It’s also nice to have the USGS Kauai County topo map. If your mainland back-packing store does not carry the Kauai topos, you may get them in person or by mail from:

Western Distribution Branch

U.S. Geological Survey

Box 25286, Federal Center

Denver, CO 80225

or

Western Mapping Center (NCIC-W)

U.S. Geological Survey

345 Middlefield Road

Menlo Park, CA 94025

Write first for catalogs and prices. When you order the maps, enclose your check for the required amount, made out to the U.S. Geological Survey.

Or there may be a store near you that specializes in maps. Look in your telephone directory under “Maps.”

The Division of Land and Natural Resources on Kauai now publishes an excellent topographic map of Kauai showing all the trails maintained by the State of Hawaii. This two-sided, color map also includes summaries of the forest reserves, trails, and camping and hunting regulations on Kauai. You can get the map by sending a 10” x 13” stamped, self-addressed envelope to the Department of Land and Natural Resources, Division of Forestry and Wildlife; see their address in “Permits” in this book. The map is big—two feet wide and almost three feet long!—so either call to find out the exact postage required or put at least four first-class stamps on your stamped, self-addressed envelope.
