1956 Map of Nohonaohae

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Nohonaohae rises as a prominent cinder cone in this mid-century look at the high volcanic plateaus between the Kohala and Mauna Kea regions. The landscape is defined by the critical transit point at Saddle Road Junction, where the arterial Malamahoa Highway meets Saddle Road. This intersection served as a vital link for cross-island travel and ranching operations during the 1950s. Infrastructure for the region's cattle industry is highly visible, with an extensive network of Fence Lines, water pipelines, and specialized facilities like the Old Aali Pump Station and Pakila Pump Station. The northern reaches include the Kamuela Airport, while the rugged natural drainage is marked by deep incisions like Kamakoa Gulch and Auwaiakeakua Gulch, illustrating the complex water management required in this arid volcanic terrain.
