The highest point in Lāna{{okina}}i is Mount Lāna{{okina}}ihale. It is an inactive [[volcano]] near the center of the island and to the east of Lāna{{okina}}i City. The elevation of Mount Lāna{{okina}}ihale is {{convert|3,366|ft|m|abbr=on}}.<ref name="ElevationRef">{{cite web|url=http://www.hawaii.gov/dbedt/info/economic/databook/db2004/section05.pdf|title=2004 State of Hawaii Databook: Table 5.11 - Elevations of Major Summits|year=2004|publisher=State of Hawaii|access-date=2007-07-23}}</ref>

Lāna{{okina}}i was traditionally administered in 13 political subdivisions ([[Ahupuaa|Ahupua{{okina}}a]]), grouped into two districts (''mokuoloko''): ''kona'' ([[Leeward]]) and ''ko{{okina}}olau'' ([[Windward]]). The ''ahupua{{okina}}a'' are listed below, in clockwise sequence, and with original area figures in [[acre]]s, starting in the northwest of the island.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.lanaichc.org/mahele-on-lanai/mahele-aina.htm|archive-url=https://archive.today/20120903221405/http://www.lanaichc.org/mahele-on-lanai/mahele-aina.htm|url-status=dead|title=The Mahele Aina on Lanai, About Hawaiian Land Management and Land Tenure|archive-date=September 3, 2012}}</ref>

Kamoku hosts the largest share of population, because the bigger part of Lāna{{okina}}i City falls into it. Parts of Lāna{{okina}}i City stretch to Ka{{okina}}ā and Paoma{{okina}}i. {{As of|2010}}, the remaining ''ahupua{{okina}}a'' were virtually uninhabited. According to the census of 2020, Lāna{{okina}}i City accounts for 99 percent of the island population (3332 of 3367). As a [[census-designated place]], Lāna{{okina}}i City is defined solely for statistical purposes, and not by administrative boundaries.

A volcanic collapse in Lāna{{okina}}i 100,000 years ago generated a [[megatsunami]] that inundated land to elevations higher than {{convert|300|m|ft}}.<ref>{{cite journal|title=Deposit from a Giant Wave on the Island of Lāna{{okina}}i, Hawaii|journal=Science|first1=James G.|last1=Moore|first2=George W.|last2=Moore|date=14 December 1984|volume=226|issue=4680|pages=1312–1315|doi=10.1126/science.226.4680.1312|pmid=17832630|bibcode=1984Sci...226.1312M|s2cid=28554236}}</ref>
