1956 Map of Mauna Kea

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Puu Wekiu and the high cinder cones of Mauna Kea Forest Reserve dominate this mid-century topographic survey. The landscape is defined by the unique volcanic geology of the summit, including the high-altitude Lake Waiau and the culturally significant Keanakakoi (Ancient Quarry). These features reflect a legacy of traditional resource gathering at extreme elevations, long before the proliferation of modern observatories.
