1980 Map of Keaau Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Keaau Ranch and the rugged Puna coastline dominate this 1980 survey of the island's eastern shore. The map follows the thin strip of coastal vegetation and habitation between the lava-carved terrain and the Pacific Ocean. Small settlements and named landmarks like Anapuka, Papai, and Haena dot the shoreline, connected by limited infrastructure such as a Jeep Trail that skirts the southern reaches toward Keauhou. This era represents a period of transition for the region, where traditional coastal place names like Wahine Maka Nui and Paukupahu persist alongside agricultural ranching interests. The boundary between the South Hilo District and Puna District cuts across the northern end of the map, illustrating the administrative divisions governing this sparsely populated volcanic landscape. From the jutting profile of Kaloli Point to the sheltered Paki Bay, the map provides a precise record of the shoreline's edge.
