Some other helper can probably exactly locate the farm. I did no better than to find Medhaugbakken, and Medhaugvegen in Åkre, on this map (getting warm....)
Or try it yourself, enter place name in search box:
http://kart.finn.no/
Karmøy island is in Rogaland.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karm%C3%B8y
Looks like some Medhaug family members listed Skudenes as a residence. This seems to be the father in 1905:

Erik K Medhaug born 1899 in Aakra, departing from Stavanger 1924, residence British Columbia, Canada: <--------------------------- your man?
http://digitalarkivet.no/cgi-win/webcens.exe?slag=visbase&filnamn=Stav1903&personpostnr=28197&merk=28197
This family tree gives Erik's birthplace as Medhaug, Åkra, Rogaland:

1900 Norway Census on Midhaug farm [sic], in Aakra, Rogaland

Lina Kristoffersdtr. 1896
Malene Kristoffersdtr. 1897
Erik Kristoffersen born 10-11-1899

A family tree on Ancestry.com for Erik Kristoffersen born at Medhaug farm:
http://records.ancestry.com/Erik_Kristoffersen_records.ashx?pid=102469456
And another tree here, Erik Eriksen Medhaug (with the father's patronymic), same mother Hanne Tomine Eriksdatter b 1865, and this tree has him living in South Dakota:
http://vagshaug.no/allslekt/2607.htm
You may have all the above records and resources - but perhaps adding Erik's birthdate etc here might possibly help further the discussion of the family's residence (maybe) or help someone else. |

It seems like the area in Åkrehavn (Åkra harbor) is developed, Medhaugbakken (Medhaug slope)
Medhaugveien (Medhaug road)
Medhaugsvingen (Medhaug curve) exist in this map
Write Medhaug and enter "Søk"

This map can be zoomed to locate the "leftovers".
