1996 Map of Kauluoa Point

About this map

Honokua Lava Flow of 1950 and other mid-century volcanic events dominate the landscape of the South Kona coast in this late 20th-century survey. The topography illustrates how recent geology reshapes the terrain, with hardened flows cutting through traditional land divisions and reaching the Pacific Ocean at points like Kauluoa Point. Despite the environmental changes, the persistence of local land use is evident in the Haukalua 2 Homesteads and Olelomoana Homesteads, which represent established settlement patterns on the island's western slopes.
