USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Volcanic activity and sharp coastal escarpments define this section of the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park during the early 1960s. The landscape is a recent record of geological change, featuring specific paths of the 1962 Flow and the Lava Flow of 1923 across the Chain of Craters Road. The topography is dominated by massive pit craters such as Makaopuhi Crater, Pauahi Crater, and Alae Crater, alongside the prominent heights of Kane Nui o Hamo.
