1924 Map of Honuapo

About this map

Volcanic activity and plantation-era settlements define this survey of the southern coast of the Big Island. The landscape is marked by historical geological events, most notably the Lava Flow of 1916 and the Lava Flow of 1887, which cut across the terrain near Kahuku Ranch. Dense networks of Ninole Homesteads and Kaunamano Homesteads illustrate the organized land distribution of the Territory of Hawaii era, while numerous laborers' quarters like Middle Moaula Camp and Dairy Camp suggest the local agricultural and ranching economy.
