1977 Map of Kilauea Crater

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Kilauea Crater dominates the southeastern quadrant of this orthophotomap, which was produced from aerial photography captured by the U.S. Geological Survey in late 1976 and early 1977. The imagery provides a clear view of the volcanic landscape on the island of Hawaii during a period of significant activity. Beyond the massive central caldera, smaller features such as Keanakakoi Crater and Pauahi Crater are visible to the south and east. The contrast between the dark lava flows and the surrounding vegetation reveals the paths of past eruptions, showing how the landscape is constantly reshaped by volcanic forces. This orthophoto quadrangle serves as a precise record of the terrain as it existed just before the turn of the decade.
