1956 Map of Naohueleelua

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

The Mauna Loa Forest and Game Reserve dominates this 1950s landscape, illustrating the complex volcanic terrain on the island of Hawaii. The map vividly captures the path of the Lava Flow of 1859, which cuts across the western portion of the quadrangle, bordering the Puuanahulu and Keauhou 2 regions. This survey highlights the survival of older vegetation and soil, known as kipukas, including Kipuka Kalawamauna and Kipuka Alala, which appear as islands of greenery surrounded by more recent flows.
