About this map

Volcanic landscapes and residential subdivisions define this portion of the Island of Hawai'i. The southern half of the map is dominated by the geological history of the Kilauea region, featuring the extensive Lava Flow of 1963 and Lava Flow of 1965. These flows surround prominent volcanic cones such as Pu'u'o'o, Pu'u Kahaualea, and Pu'u Halulu. A significant portion of this terrain is preserved within the Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park and the adjacent Hawai'i Volcanoes Wilderness.

In contrast to the raw volcanic fields, the northern section contains several gridded residential communities established in the forest. Large-lot subdivisions like Eden Roc, Fern Acres, Fern Forest, and Hawaiian Acres show a distinct pattern of development where long, straight roads like Ala Rd and Jungle King Ave penetrate the dense vegetation. This map captures the intersection of recent geologic activity and modern human settlement on the windward slopes.
