1956 Map of Ahumoa

About this map

The high-elevation volcanic slopes of Mauna Kea define this 1956 mid-century landscape, dominated by a network of forest reserves and specialized land management zones. The south-central portion of the map is occupied by the Pohakuloa Training Area, a military reservation bisected by the critical artery of Saddle Road and a parallel Telephone Road. Local infrastructure at the time included the Pohakuloa Camp, a Radio Station on the slopes of Ahumoa, and a Landing Field near the lava flows of Puu Kea.
