Since its last eruption approximately 320,000 years ago, the West Maui Mountains have undergone substantial stream erosion.[6] The three moku or districts of west Maui are Lāhaina, Kā{{okina}}anapali, and Wailuku.[5] Wailuku is also known as Pū{{okina}}alikomohana, or Nā Wai {{okina}}Ehā which means the four waters. The 4 waters are the ahupua{{okina}}a (smaller land division than district), which are Waikapū, Wailuku, Wai{{okina}}ehu, and Waihe{{okina}}e. The port of Lāhainā lies on the southwestern slope. The summit peak is called Pu{{okina}}u Kukui, at {{convert|5788|ft|m}} elevation. Pu'u Kukui translates into "candlenut hill".[6] Pu{{okina}}u Kukui Watershed PreserveEstablished in 1988, the Pu{{okina}}u Kukui Preserve is the largest private nature preserve in the State of Hawaii. Since 1994, the {{convert|8661|acre|km2|adj=on}} preserve has been managed by Maui Land & Pineapple Company in participation with The Nature Conservancy and the State Natural Area Partnership. These groups work together to protect the watershed lands of the West Maui mountain. Geological historyThe West Maui Mountains were formed through at least three series of major volcanic eruptions during its shield building period.[6] Rocks from the latest major shield-building eruptions are called the Honolua volcanic series, which are roughly 500,000 years old. However, there were several rejuvenated stage eruptions more recently, the last dating to roughly 320,000 years ago.[7] References1. ^1 {{cite peakbagger|pid=11885|title=Puu Kukui, Hawaii|accessdate=10 August 2014}} 2. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.keawalai.org/sermons/06-12-16.html|title=Keawala'i Congregational Church, Kahu's Mana'o|website=www.keawalai.org|access-date=2019-01-24}} 3. ^{{Cite web|url=https://www.elopemaui.com/hawaii/|title=Hawaii|last=|first=|date=|website=Elope Maui|language=en-US|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=2019-01-24}} 4. ^ Basic Manual for Hawai'i's Tour Drivers/Guides v-6 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.nps.gov/hale/historyculture/moku.htm|title=Native Hawaiian Land Division|work=Haleakalā National Park|publisher=U.S. National Park Service}} 6. ^{{cite book|last1=Pukui|first1=Mary Kawena|last2=Elbert|first2=Samuel H.|last3=Mookini|first3=Esther T.|title=Place Names of Hawaii|publisher=University of Hawaii|pages=200|date=1974}} 7. ^1 2 {{cite web|last=Sinton|first=John M|title=Geologic History of Maui|url=http://www.soest.hawaii.edu/Library/Sinton_Maui.pdf|publisher=Hawaii Institute of Geophysics|accessdate=18 August 2012}} External links
