About this map

Hawaii National Park and the volcanic landscape of southern Hawaii County define this mid-century survey, which reveals the complex human and geological history of the island. The map documents an era when agricultural operations and ranching communities were deeply integrated into the varied terrain, from the Koa Mill in the west to the Gaspari Dairy near the northern border. Significant volcanic features including Kilauea Crater, Puu Honuaula, and the massive Great Crack are mapped alongside the remote labor camps of the sugar and ranching industries, such as Wood Valley Camp, Honomalino Camp, and Lower Moaula Camp.
