1981 Map of Kau Desert

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Hawaii Volcanoes National Park dominates this landscape on the Island of Hawaii, where volcanic activity has continuously reshaped the terrain. Recent history is visible through the mapped extents of the Lava Flow of 1971 and the Lava Flow of 1974, which cross the arid Kau Desert. The dramatic elevation changes of the Hilina Pali escarpment drop toward the Pacific Ocean coastline, where isolated coastal locations like Kaaha and Halape are reached only by foot.
