1982 Map of Naohueleelua

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

The Lava Flow of 1859 dominates this high-elevation landscape on the Island of Hawaii, marking a distinct boundary across the North Kona and Hamakua District lines. This 1982 revision illustrates the intersection of conservation and military use, where the Pohakuloa Game Management Area meets the Pohakuloa Training Area (Military Reservation). Isolated pockets of vegetation, or kipukas, emerge from the volcanic fields, including Kipuka Kalawamauna and Kipuka Alala, providing vital islands of habitat amidst the basalt. Near the western edge, the settlement of Naohueleelua sits at the terminus of a series of Jeep Trails, while the slopes of Mauna Loa rise to the south. The map provides a detailed view of the Forest Reserve and volcanic features such as Na Puu Kulua, highlighting the specialized land management required in this ecologically unique environment.
