1982 Map of Kauluoa Point

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

The coastal shelf of South Kona meets the Pacific Ocean in this detailed 1982 survey of the Kauluoa Point coastline. The landscape is defined by the remnants of the volcanic activity that shaped the island, notably featuring the Honokua Lava Flow of 1950 and a similar flow at Kaapuna. Settlement is concentrated in upland areas away from the immediate shore, where the Olelomoana Homesteads and Haukalua 2 Homesteads reflect local land divisions. Education and community infrastructure are visible through the Alae Sch and several scattered Rain Shed locations, which were essential for water catchment in this environment. The northern reaches include Kalahiki Beach and Lapaiwai Bay, while the southern boundary transitions into the protected South Kona Forest Reserve. This map illustrates the intersection of mid-century geological events with the long-standing agricultural and residential patterns of the Kona district.
