About this map

Kurtistown and Mountain View serve as the primary anchors for this survey of the windward slope of Hawaii Island during the mid-1960s. The landscape is defined by the structured transition from forest reserves to residential and agricultural allotments, notably the Olaa Reservation Homesteads and Olaa Reservation Lots. A distinctive pattern of labor and settlement is visible through the numerous named camps, such as Ninemile Camp, Nine and Onehalf Mile Camp, and Iwasaki Camp, reflecting the agricultural heritage of the Puna District.

Transportation and utility infrastructure are critical to the region's development, highlighted by the Stainback Highway and the presence of a flume near the Waikea Forest Reserve. Local community life is documented through the Kurtistown Sch, the Olaa Dispensary, and several cemeteries. Further south, the vast tracts of Waikahekahe Nui and Waikahekahe Iki illustrate the scale of traditional land divisions in the interior.
