Megalopolis

Chapter 4
Maui is composed of 2 major volcanic areas, the older and extinct west Maui Mountains and a very expansive volcano names Haleakala on east Maui. Between these two mountains is a valley filled with deposits. In addition, to these three primary areas, the island is also divided into various official sub-areas. Each area is distinct and unique in its own way. The central Maui connects two volcanoes. Today Central Maui includes residential communities, sugar and pineapple plantations, government offices and various visitor attractions. It also includes golf courses, parks and shopping areas. Upcountry Maui includes towns, ranches, vineyards, parks and farmlands. It is the heart of agricultural industry. In addition, upcountry Maui is very similar to the countryside of Scotland. Also, best views of the South Pacific can be found from the highest elevations of upcountry Maui.
