1995 Map of Manuka Bay

About this map

Volcanic activity defines this coastal stretch of the Big Island, where the Manukā Natural Area Reserve protects a landscape shaped by successive flows. The map details the jagged coastline from Kānewa‘a Point in the north down to Kaunā Point, illustrating how lava flow lines have historically altered the terrain. Of particular interest to those studying local geology and land formation are the numerous kīpuka—islands of older vegetation surrounded by more recent flows—such as Kipukakaulanamauna, Kīpukamālua, and Kīpukakaupua‘a. The remote shoreline is punctuated by small inlets like Manukā Bay and Kaiakekua, while the inland area is divided between the South Kona District and Ka‘ū District. Small landmarks like the Kamoi and ‘Ahuloa areas provide reference points within this sparsely settled region of the Pacific Ocean coast.
