1924 Map of Makuu

USGS Topo · Published 1943

About this map

The coastal shelf of the Puna district is dominated by the Hawaii Consolidated Ry, which once connected these isolated windward settlements to the wider island economy. Surveyed in the early 1920s, the map reveals a landscape structured by both historical geological events and organized land distribution. The massive Lava Flow of 1840 cuts a stark path toward the coast near Nanawale Bay, while the geometric patterns of the Nanawale Homesteads and Keonepoko Homesteads illustrate the territory's efforts to establish residential and agricultural communities.
