1982 Map of Keamuku

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The Keamuku Lava Flow dominates the landscape of this high-elevation region on the Island of Hawaii, illustrating the powerful volcanic history of the area. This 1982 survey provides a detailed look at the intersection of land use and natural terrain, where the Pohakuloa Training Area (Military Reservation) meets the wilder stretches of the Mauna Loa Forest Reserve. The map traces several volcanic cones, known locally as puu, including Puu Ka Pele and Puu Keekee, which rise above the surrounding Kipuka Puuanahulu. Evidence of the ranching and social history of the district is found at the settlement of Waikii and the Kilohana Girl Scout Camp, while the Saddle Road and Kona Hwy serve as the primary conduits through this remote terrain. The presence of numerous water tanks underscores the logistical challenges of maintaining settlements like Keamuku in an environment defined by porous lava and seasonal gulches like Auwaiakeakua Gulch.
