About this map

Lava Flow patterns and volcanic craters define the landscape of Hawaii's southeastern coast during the governorship of Wallace R. Farrington. This 1922 survey documents an era of extensive agricultural partitioning, visible in the numerous land grants like the Kaniahiku Homesteads and Malama Homesteads that stretch from the interior toward the Pacific Ocean. The map shows established settlements such as Pahoa, Kapoho, and the coastal village of Kalapana, providing a precise record of these communities before later volcanic activity altered the Puna District topography.
