1995 Map of Makaopuhi Crater

USGS Topo · Published 1999

About this map

Makaopuhi Crater and the surrounding volcanic landscape of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park dominate this survey, which documents decades of active geological transformation. The map identifies specific flows by year, including the Lava Flow of 1974 and the Lava Flow of 1969, illustrating how the terrain was continuously reshaped in the late 20th century. Cultural sites along the coast, such as Keauhou Landing (Site) and Kealakomo (Site), reflect the historical footprint of human settlement in a region defined by its precarious proximity to active vents like Mauna Ulu and Pu`u `O`o. The route of the Chain of Craters Road serves as the primary artery through this wilderness, navigating the steep drops of Holei Pali toward the Pacific Ocean. Internal district boundaries between the Ka`u District and Puna District bisect the park, marking administrative lines across fields of cooled basalt and scattered kipuka.
