| Comments: | Area at the base of the southern rim of Haleakala near the Puu Maile cinder cone. According to Ted Rodrigues, a longtime Haleakala park ranger, the Kapalaoa area also went by Kapala‘ao. Archaeologist Kenneth Emory wrote about the area in his report of a 1920 survey of the crater: "At the foot of Puu Maile and opposite the spring, Kapalaoa, I counted over 50 stone shelters in clusters of 3 to 10, and found pebbles lying on the sand about Kahuinaokeone, but none among the Kapalaoa shelters." In the 1930s, the Civilian Conservation Corps built a cabin supported with water from the spring. |
