1917 Map of Hilo
USGS Topo · Published 1917About this map
The industrial and agricultural foundations of Hilo are clearly visible during the First World War, with the Waiakea Mill and Olaa Plantation Mill serving as major economic hubs. The landscape is defined by the massive Lava Flow of 1881 cutting across the South Hilo District, illustrating the persistent volcanic influence on settlement patterns. Inland, a network of plantation camps and small communities like Kurtistown and Mountain View follow the path of the Hilo R. R. and the main Volcano Road.
