About this map

Agricultural camps and residential settlements line the arterial corridor between Mountain View and Keaau in this mid-century survey of the Puna District. The landscape is defined by the transition from the dense Waikea Forest Reserve to organized cultivation and homesteading. Evidence of the region’s sugar plantation heritage is visible through features like the flume and a series of numbered camps, including Ninemile Camp, Nine and Onehalf Mile Camp, and Iwasaki Camp.

Social and civic life is centered at Kurtistown, where the Kurtistown Sch and Olaa Dispensary served the local population. The map also captures the sprawling Olaa Reservation Homesteads and smaller holdings like Elevenmile Homestead, indicating the parceling of land for residential and farming use. Infrastructure like the Stainback Highway and the Landing Strip near Mountain View highlight the accessibility of this upland terrain as it developed toward the coast.
