1960 Map of Kaunene

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

Honaunau Forest Reserve dominates this 1960 landscape on the Big Island, illustrating a high-elevation environment where water management was critical for ranching and settlement. Evidence of upland agricultural activity appears at Gaspars Dairy, while isolated outposts like Hapuu Camp and Big Hill Camp are connected only by a network of trails and jeep tracks. The map highlights the essential nature of water collection in this volcanic terrain, noting several Rain Sheds and the Komakawai Waterholes. Prominent volcanic landmarks such as Puu Kinikini and the cinder cone at Big Hill punctuate the slopes. This survey records the distinct land divisions or ahupuaʻa, including Kiilae, Kealia 1, and Kealakekua, providing a spatial record of traditional Hawaiian land tenure as it functioned in the mid-20th century.
