About this map

Hualālai dominates this portion of the Island of Hawai'i, showcasing a landscape shaped by volcanic activity and ancient cultural sites. The map documents the extensive Lava Flow of 1859 stretching across the northeastern terrain, while the Hainoa Crater and various cinder cones like Puu Lalakaukole and Puu Neneakolu punctuate the slopes. This high-elevation environment is marked by significant historical features, including the Ahua'umi Heiau, an important temple site that speaks to the indigenous history of the region.

Modern and historical transit paths are represented by the Judd Trl, which traverses the southern portion of the sheet near the settlements of Pihapono and Wahapele. The presence of Wai'aha Stream indicates the natural drainage patterns in an area otherwise characterized by named peaks and ridges such as Potato Hill and Pu'uhonua'ula. This survey provides a precise look at the volcanic geography of the Big Island as it appeared in the early 21st century.
