About this map

High-elevation ranching and forest lands on the island of Hawaii define this landscape as it appeared in the early 1980s. The area is marked by a network of 4wd trails that navigate the steep slopes of the Honalina Forest Reserve. Local infrastructure is geared toward water management and cattle operations, evidenced by several scattered Water Tanks and the presence of Gaspars Dairy near the northern boundary. Several small outpost settlements or points of interest are documented across the terrain, including Hapuu Camp and Big Hill Camp.

Boundary lines for the North Kona and South Kona Districts intersect here, illustrating the jurisdictional divisions of the island's interior. Notable landmarks for local history and navigation include the high point of Puu Kinikini and the Komakawai Waterholes, which provided critical water resources in this volcanic environment. A Gaging Sta and a small Corral near Kaunene further highlight the intersection of land management and agricultural use in this remote section of Hawaii County.
