1982 Map of Keanakolu

About this map

The Doctor David Douglas Historical Monument (Kaluakauka) stands as a notable landmark in this upland region of Hawaii, marking the site where the famed botanist perished. This 1982 survey illustrates a landscape defined by forest management and homesteading patterns along the slopes of the Mauna Kea foothills. A series of remote outposts, including the Keanakolu Ranger Station, Puu Loa No 2 Camp, and Iolehaehae Camp, provide structure to the vast stretches of the Hamakua Forest Reserve and Hilo Forest Reserve. The map details a complex system of gulches, such as Kaula Gulch and Kupapaulua Gulch, which drain the volcanic terrain toward the coast. Historical land divisions are clearly marked through the presence of the Niupea Homesteads and Waipunalei Homesteads, reflecting the era's agricultural and settlement boundaries.
