1963 Map of Hilo

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

The growing urban core of Hilo is flanked by the remnants of the island's volcanic past and its agricultural present in this early 1960s survey. To the south, the sprawling Waiakea Homesteads and Ponahawai Homesteads show the pattern of residential expansion, while the Waiakea Forest Reserve and Panaewa Forest Reserve define the limits of the tropical landscape. The shoreline is a hub of activity, from the recreational Liliuokalani Gardens Pond and Cocoanut Island to the industrial utility of General Lyman Field and the Sugar Mill near Keaau.
