1959 Map of Makalawena

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

Lava Flow of 1801 dominates the coastal landscape of North Kona, revealing the raw volcanic geography of the Island of Hawaii prior to modern resort development. This 1959 field check records a series of traditional coastal sites and bays, including Kukio Bay, Kahoiawa Bay, and Mahaiula Bay. The settlement of Makalawena is noted alongside several Graves and a Lava Tube, suggesting a history of habitation tied closely to the shoreline and the brackish ponds of Awakee and Maniniowali.
