About this map

The dormant shield volcano of Hualalai dominates this high-elevation landscape on the Island of Hawaii. In the late twentieth century, this terrain was characterized by its conservation and management areas, including the Kaupulehu Forest Reserve and the Puuwaawaa Wildlife Sanctuary. The topography is a complex network of cinder cones and craters, such as Hainoa Crater, Puu Maau, and Puuonahaha, reflecting the volcanic activity of the region's past.

Transport through this rugged upland is marked by historic footpaths and primitive routes, notably the Judd Trail and the Pihapono Trail. Human presence is sparse, indicated by isolated features like the aptly named Shangri-la and numerous water tanks essential for survival in the porous lava fields. The map also delineates land divisions like Keauhou 2 and the Puu o uanahulu Game Management Area, illustrating how the land was partitioned for both resource management and preservation at the turn of the millennium.
