2024 Map of Kau Desert

USGS Topo · Published 2024

About this map

Island of Hawai‘i Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park dominates this landscape, where the volcanic processes of the Big Island meet the edge of the Pacific Ocean. This survey details the stark geomorphology of the Ka‘ũ Desert, characterized by extensive flows like the Lava Flow of 1920 and the Ke‘āmoku Lava Flow. The area is defined by a series of dramatic fault scarps or pali, including Hilina Pali, Moolelo Pali, and Kũkalau‘ula Pali, which drop toward the southern coastline.
