About this map

The volcanic peaks of Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa dominate this mid-century view of the Big Island, illustrating the profound relationship between the islands' geology and its agricultural economy. Along the northeast Hamakua Coast, a dense network of sugar infrastructure is visible, including the Pacific Sugar Mill, Honokaa Mill, and Olaa Plantation. These industrial hubs are connected by the remnants of the Hawaii Consolidated railroad, which historically moved cane to the deep-water facilities at Hilo Harbor.
