1924 Map of Makuu

USGS Topo · Published 1924

About this map

The coastal landscapes of the Puna Dist. and S. Hilo Dist. are defined here by the intersection of volcanic activity and early 20th-century commerce. The Hawaii Consolidated Ry serves as the primary backbone for the region, connecting small stations like Makuu Sta and Twentymile Sta to the coast. This transit network highlights the transition from traditional settlement patterns at Haena and Auwae to the more structured Nanawale Homesteads. Along the easternmost reach of the island, Cape Kumukahi stands near the volcanic features of Kapoho Crater and Green Lake. The map includes specific notations for the boundary of lava flow and geological cracks, providing a detailed look at how the shifting terrain influenced land use, including the National Guard Reservation and ports like Honolulu Landing.
