1980 Map of Hawaii County Sheet 2

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The volcanic landscape of the Big Island dominates this survey, centered on the activity of Kilauea Crater and the vast Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. From the shoreline at Cape Kumukahi to the high reaches of the Hilo Forest Reserve, the map captures the transition from rugged volcanic terrain to the established coastal settlements of the Hilo and Puna districts. The city of Hilo serves as the regional hub, supported by infrastructure like General Lyman Field and Hilo Bay. Along the Hamakua Coast, a string of agricultural and plantation-era settlements like Laupahoehoe, Pepeekeo, and Papaikou follow the coastline, intersected by numerous deep-cut stream gulches such as Maulua Gulch and Honohina Gulch. In the Puna district, the map details the geometric layouts of inland developments like Elevenmile Homesteads and the coastal village of Kalapana before modern lava flows altered the topography.
