1956 Map of Kulani

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Recent geological activity on the slopes of Mauna Loa is clearly defined by the Lava Flow of 1852 and the Lava Flow of 1942, which cut wide swaths across the island's interior. This high-elevation terrain is characterized by massive forest reserves, including the Upper Waiakea Forest Reserve and the Kilauea Forest Reserve, where human infrastructure is limited to specialized camps and water catchment systems. The Kulani Project stands as a focal point of development in this remote area, connected to the outside world by the Stainback Highway.
