1995 Map of Kalalua

About this map

Volcanic activity and the gradual encroachment of residential development define this 1995 planimetry of the East Rift Zone on the island of Hawaii. The map documents the extensive reach of the Lava Flow of 1977 and the Lava Flow of 1969, illustrating how these geothermal events reshaped the terrain within Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and neighboring conservation lands. In the northwest corner, a dense residential grid in Keaau features named streets like Ahi Avenue and Punawai Avenue, contrasting sharply with the raw volcanic landscape to the southeast.
