1996 Map of Makalawena

USGS Topo · Published 1998

About this map

Lava Flow of 1801 dominates the coastal topography of this West Hawaii landscape, illustrating the raw volcanic history that defines the North Kona district. The shoreline is punctuated by numerous points and small bays, including Kua Bay and Mahaiula Bay, where small settlements like Makalawena and Mahaiula once sat at the edge of the Pacific Ocean. Within the protected bounds of Kona Coast State Park, the map reveals sensitive ecological and cultural features such as Opaeula Pond and a local Cem, providing evidence of historical habitation in an area later defined by state conservation efforts.
