1994 Map of Keaau Ranch

About this map

The coastal interface of the South Hilo and Puna Districts defines this coastal landscape on the Big Island. Concentrated along the shoreline, several named coastal features like Anapuka, Paukūpahu, and Pāpa'i suggest a landscape shaped by volcanic activity meeting the Pacific Ocean. Most human activity is localized at the Kea'au Ranch, where a marked Cemetery and local structures sit near the junction of coastal 4wd tracks. This area maintains a largely undeveloped character, preserved within the Waiākea and Kea'au lands. Near the southern edge of the sheet, the terrain reaches Paki Bay and Kīpaepae, illustrating the primitive transit routes that connected these isolated ranching and coastal points before modern infrastructure dominated the region.
