1924 Map of Kilauea

USGS Topo · Published 1946

About this map

Kilauea Crater and the surrounding volcanic landscape dominate this mid-century printing of early 1920s surveys, showcasing the early infrastructure of Hawaii National Park. The map captures a transition from industrial exploitation to conservation, evidenced by the Old Koa Mill standing near the lush Upper Olaa Forest Reserve and Fern Forest. Settlement patterns are defined by functional outposts like the Kilauea Military Camp, Prison Camp, and various labor or recreation sites such as Iseri Camp and Church Camp. Topography is marked by numerous pit craters and ancient lava flows, including the prominent Halemaumau and Mauna Iki. To the south, agricultural development is visible at Kapapala Ranch and the Wood Valley Homesteads, while historic travel routes like the Old Puna-Kau Trail navigate the challenging Kau Desert toward the Pacific Ocean.
