How Geocaching Works

Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

Geocache Description:

Hawaiians divided their islands into districts called moku.

The map below shows the moku of O'ahu.

These names are still in use today.



Moku were further divided into ahupua'a, a land division usually extending from the uplands to the sea.
