1924 Map of Kilauea

About this map

Kilauea Crater and the surrounding volcanic landscape of the Puna and Kau Districts dominate this early 20th-century survey. The terrain is a complex record of active geology, featuring the Halemaumau pit and the fresh paths of the Lava Flow of 1920 and Lava Flow of 1881. Human presence is marked by scientific and hospitality interests at Volcano House and the Kilauea Military Camp, while further west, the land transitions to ranching and homesteading at Kapapala Ranch and the Kilauea Settlement Lots. The map preserves the network of early transit, including the Peter Lee Road and the Old Kau-Volcano Trail, alongside localized industry like the Old Koa Mill. These features reveal a territory balancing emerging tourism and military activity with established agricultural camps such as Iseri Camp and Wood Valley Camp.
