About this map

Milolii remains a focal point on this coastal survey of the South Kona district, situated alongside its namesake Milolii Bay. The landscape is profoundly shaped by volcanic activity, with the massive Alika Lava Flow of 1919 and the Hoopuloa Lava Flow of 1926 visible as they scarred the terrain and reached the Pacific Ocean. These flows provide a stark timeline of the region's geological history, cutting through land divisions like Alika and Hoopuloa.

Coastal features are meticulously detailed, from the Kipahoehoe State Natural Area Reserve in the north to the numerous small inlets including Papa Bay, Honomalino Bay, and Okoe Bay. The presence of several Wall labels suggests traditional land boundaries or historical agricultural enclosures common in Hawaiian land management. The 4WD tracks winding through the inland sections connect these remote coastal settlements and archaeological sites to the higher elevations.
