Address Hana Highway, Piilani Highway, Makawao District to Hana District, Maui TMK (2) Various SHPD Historic Site Number Not provided National Register of Historic Places #01000615 Abstract The Hana Belt Road is coterminous with its historic right-of-way. The Hana Highway portion of the "belt road" traverses approximately fifty-one miles along Maui's north and east coast from Kahului in central Maui to the remote East Maui community of Hana. After Hana, the road continues as the Piilani Highway and circles back around East Maui's south side, a distance of thirty-seven miles. The proposed historic district includes approximately forty-two miles of road from a point near Mile Marker 3 on the Hana Highway near Huelo to Koukouai Bridge on Piilani Highway near the Kipahulu section of Haleakala National Park. The road achieves state and local significance in the areas of engineering, transportation, commerce, and social history. The construction of bridges and a road to Hana between 1900 and 1947 was a major engineering achievement. Fifty-nine bridges that were built along the route between 1908 and 1947 remain at the time this nomination was completed.

Address Kalepolepo Beach Park, Kihei, Maui 96753 TMK (2) 3-9-001:Various SHPD Historic Site Number 50-09-1288 National Register of Historic Places #96001503 Abstract The Kalepolepo Fishpond is situated on a fringing coral reef, with the main portion of the wall following along the outer perimeter of the reef. This type of setting was selected most frequently for the construction of loko kuapa (walled ponds), due to wave protection provided by the reef and the presence of a shallow shoal area. Kalepolepo Fishpond is significant as a well-preserved example of the technological achievements associated with the development  of Hawaiian aquaculture. The fishpond was an economic resource that was important for its subsistence value to the people of the Kula District between approximately AD 1500 and 1880.
