Forested, dont know about flooding out past C towards E. The main creek I talked about and showed in the 2 pics from my prop (above) starts at the bridge 1 block from the Road 1 entrance of Hawaiian Acres (at south end of SoKulani Rd.) it then goes near where intersection of Road B and Road 1 should be (no road really) goes basically down C (always staying on the B side of C) to Road 8 area and then down to Ochidland and eventually empties into ocean around Shipman Beach area (I think their pond next to the beach might be part of the same source???)... I do drive many of the 77 miles of roads and almost all the low spots are rougher and will hold water when we get good rains (some holes are deep)...
Youd have to look at each property separately and in person to judge if they may have rain flooding issues, ask the neighbours too...
in my area (middle or prop) my waiwi (strawberry guava-yellow type) are mostly 8" to 1.5' thick and 40'-60' long/tall, while in other areas of HA and Puna waiwi is often broom stick size and under 25' tall (but sometimes very thick you cant walk through them. My Ohia are like redwoods too, they are slightly wider than a telephone poles but dont narrow as they get taller much and straight as an arrow, with their first branches well over 40' up the tree, some are nearly 100' tall with most of the leaves branches at the tip top.
the largest Waiwi and Ironwood Ive ever seen in all of Hawaii are on my property (I believe they are so big because of the added nutrients from the creek)
the best land in HA will be covered in a high % of spaced out smaller Ohia with normal branching, and the native Uluhe fern and some Hapu'u ferns mixed in with a minimal amount of the invasives waiwi, paperbark, and the melastoma family plague plants.

save our indigenous and endemic Hawaiian Plants... learn about them, grow them, and plant them on your property, ....instead of all that invasive non-native garbage I see in most yards... aloha
