About this map

Pohakuloa Training Area dominates the high-altitude volcanic saddle between the great Hawaiian peaks in this 1982 survey. This military landscape is defined by its rugged logistical network, including an Airfield and a series of rugged paths like the Lightning Trail and Serpentine Trail. The terrain transitions from the cinder cones of the Kaohe Game Management Area to the dense conservation zones of the Upper Paauhau Forest Reserve and Mauna Kea Forest Reserve.

Water is a vital and scarce resource in this environment, marked by isolated points such as Hapukani Springs, Waihu Spring, and several Water Tanks positioned near Mauna Kea State Park. The map also captures the geological character of the slopes, naming numerous volcanic vents including Puu Pohakuloa, Puu Alakala, and Ahumoa. Civil engineering is represented by the Saddle Road corridor and a local Cinder Pit used for volcanic aggregate.
