1959 Map of Hawaii North

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa dominate the northern and central landscape of Hawaii Island, their slopes marked by documented lava flows dating from 1840 through 1921. This 1959 edition provides a snapshot of the island's mid-century economic geography, where the Hawaii Consolidated railroad line serves a coastline dotted with processing centers like the Pacific Sugar Mill and Hoea Mill. The topography reveals the transition from coastal settlements like Kailua and Mahukona Harbor to the inland ranching and agricultural centers of the Kohala Mountains.
