1959 Map of Keahole Point

About this map

The Lava Flow of 1801 dominates this arid coastal stretch of North Kona, creating a stark landscape where ancient Hawaiian sites meet mid-century development. Archaeological significance is evident throughout the terrain, with several temple sites including Ahuena Heiau, Hale o Mano Heiau, and Hale o Lono Heiau noted near the shoreline. Indigenous land use is further represented by the massive Kaloko Fishpond and various Petroglyphs found along the network of foot and pack trails.
