Geographic NamesGeographic names in this report are largely consistent with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Board on Geographic Names (http://geonames.usgs.gov/), including the use of the 'okina (') and kahakō (ˉ) diacritical marks in Hawaiian names. The diacritical marks are not used, however, in anglicized derivations from Hawaiian names (for example, the 'okina appears in the name "Hawai'i" but not in the derivation "Hawaiian"), or where a place name appears without the diacritical marks in an established name or title in a cited reference or database (for example, well names in this report appear as they do in state and local government databases). Names of geologic formations and features are consistent with the State of Hawai'i geologic map by Sherrod and others (2021).
