Mauna Kea Observatories sit atop the highest reaches of Hawaii in this 1982 survey, representing a significant period of scientific expansion on the island. The map details the transition from ancient cultural sites like the Keanakakoi (Ancient Quarry) to modern research facilities at the Summit. This high-altitude landscape is characterized by a dense concentration of cinder cones, including Puu Wekiu, Puu Poliahu, and Puu Makanaka, which break the volcanic terrain.
