1959 Map of Hawaii South

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Mauna Loa dominates the interior of this survey, its massive volcanic slopes marked by the Great Lava Fissure and the Southwest Rift. The landscape is a study in the juxtaposition of raw volcanic activity at Kilauea Crater and the established settlements along the coastlines. In the south, the village of Naalehu and the Honuapo Bay anchor the regional geography, while the Hawaii National Park boundary encompasses significant landmarks like Volcano House and the Makuaueweoweo Crater.
