I've accounts of almost a early dozen Waialeale ascents and will use them to show how the Waialeale Trail has evolved since the nineteen century.
But as shown in the old maps, little was known of the interior. If you've hiked some of the trails south of Koaie Gorge, you'll appreciate how rarely you can see even fifty feet, much less see enough to get an idea of the lay of the land.
The early maps show little detail of the interior of the island, mostly speculation. For example, this one doesn't show Koaie Stream and the Makaweli drainage is quite small. Nothing at Kawaikini, the highest point on the island. It does show a route approximating the Alakai Swamp Trail, then dropping into Wainiha Valley. Detail along the coast line is fairly accurate.

* Điều em muốn nói . . .
Thượng đế sinh em ra là để giành cho anh . . .
Thượng đế biết ta sinh ra là để giành cho nhau :)
-----------------------------------------------------------
* Em yêu . . .
Em yêu vẻ đẹp trong mắt anh
Em yêu cách anh làm em cười
Em yêu anh lúc anh quan tâm - lo lắng cho em
Em yêu cả cách nói đáng yêu và hài hước của anh
Em yêu giọng nói nhẹ nhàng ấm áp mỗi khi anh thì thầm vào tai em
Em yêu một sự thật rằng em cũng sẽ không bao giờ quên được anh : )

I wonder what the areas on the map with even fewer dots than "Very Low" are supposed to signify.
From "Civilization," The World Book, 1920.
Not much changed here in some ways, except for the major reconstructions in the square bounded by Petty Cury, Corn Exchange Street, St Andrews Street and Downing Street to make way for Lion Yard and the Grand Arcade.
Note also the car park denoted on New Square and the vanished lanes to the north of Fitzroy Street.

After five years of planning, the Runcorn Busway shown in orange was purpose built in 1971 as part of the development of Runcorn new town. It was completed in 1978. The new town stands up the hill on the south bank of the Mersey overlooking Runcorn old town, with its distinctive road and rail bridges across to Widnes on the north bank. The busway was built to a figure of eight design, enabling all residents to be within walking distance of the bus. This public transport concept has broken down over the years as Runcorn has expanded beyond its original design and car ownership has become more common.
In the centre at Halton Lea, formerly Shopping City, the bus way straddles the first phase of the shopping centre with separate high-level north and southbound platforms. Initially there was a lower regional bus station closed some years ago in favour of car parking. Longer distance services now also use the upper levels. Buses from outside the system can enter the busway and access the shopping centre. Services operate to Chester, Warrington and Liverpool from Halton Lea. A striking feature is the elevated section through Halton Lea where in a manner later replicated by the Docklands Light Railway in London the busway runs along a dedicated viaduct. Unlike later examples in Cambridge and Leigh, the system is unguided – the drivers still steer their buses. The busway is single lane but each stop has a passing lane to allow following buses to pass.
In parallel with Runcorn’s core Expressway dual carriageway network, The Busway was an integral part of the planning of one of Liverpool’s overspill new towns, to the east of established Runcorn. With bus stops in residential areas sited to maximise convenience compared to car use and parking, the bus was designed to be the mode of choice.
Maximum Busway driving speeds were designed for 40 mph, with priority signals where Busway intersected the local road network. Average bus operating speeds were said to be 50 per cent higher than on conventional roads. Core Busway services are operated by Crosville's successor Arriva North West’s circulars 1 and 2, each operating every five to seven minutes, One interesting feature of the Busway is that Saint Chadd’s, a large regional secondary school has its own dedicated bus bays.
Services on the northern leg of Busway (Astmoor) are now provided solely by longer distance services.
The Busway has seen its share of problems over the years. A small number of double decks have bashed bridges along the single deck only Busway. There have been a small number of crashes, including with private vehicles not supposed to be on Busway. By far the worst issue is anti-social behaviour after dark on an otherwise relatively isolated network seeing few evening services.
