1982 Map of Keahole Point

About this map

The Lava Flow of 1801 dominates the northern landscape of this North Kona District coastline, where ancient Hawaiian landmarks meet modern infrastructure. Along the jagged shore of the Pacific Ocean, traditional sites like the Kaloko Fishpond and several heiaus—including Hale o Lono Heiau and Ahuena Heiau—point to the area's deep indigenous roots. These features sit in close proximity to the Keahole Airport and the Natural Energy Laboratory, illustrating a period of significant technological and utility expansion during the early 1980s.
