1960 Map of Kealakekua
USGS Topo · Published 1972About this map
The Burial Ground for Kuamoo Battle Warriors stands as a somber landmark on this West Hawaii coast, marking the site of a significant 1819 conflict between traditional Hawaiian forces. Moving inland from the rocky points like Puu Ohau and Kamoa Pt, the landscape transitions into the lush slopes of the Kahaluu Forest Reserve. The mid-century development of the Kona coast is anchored by the Mamalahoa Highway, where essential community hubs like Kona Hospital and the Kona Branch Univ of Hawaii Agricultural Experiment Sta are established. Education and local industry are well-represented by facilities such as Konawaena Sch and various Quarries. The map illustrates the traditional land division system with numerous named tracts like Keauhou 1 and Honalo, reflecting the long-standing ahupuaʻa structure that persists through the modern era.
