1962 Map of Hawaii South

About this map

Mauna Loa and the massive caldera of Kilauea Crater dominate the southern landscape of Hawaii in this early 1960s study. The map captures the island's volcanic activity through the Southwest Rift and numerous craters such as Makaopuhi Crater and Pauahi Crater, set within the expansive Hawaii National Park. Along the coast, traditional fishing villages and agricultural centers like Milolii, Napoopoo, and Honaunau anchor the Kona coast, while the southern tip features landmarks like Kalae and the archaeological sites of Kuee (Ruined) and Kahio (Ruined).
