1956 Map of Naohueleelua

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Lava Flow of 1859 dominates this mid-century landscape on the Island of Hawaii, illustrating the powerful volcanic history that shaped the North Kona and Hamakua Districts. The map highlights the settlement of Naohueleelua situated along a Jeep Trail, surrounded by specialized terrain like the Kipuka Alala and Kipuka Kalawamauna—islands of older vegetation preserved amidst younger volcanic deposits. High elevations are marked by landmarks such as Na Puu Kulua and Anahulu 2 Vabm 5220, while a significant portion of the eastern quadrant is dedicated to the Mauna Loa Forest and Game Reserve. The network of Foot Trails and primitive roads suggests a region primarily used for resource management, surveying, and traditional travel across the high-altitude slopes of Puu Anahulu.
