1923 Map of Pahala

About this map

Pahala serves as the central hub of this coastal and volcanic landscape in the early 1920s, surrounded by a cluster of labor settlements including Paho Camp, Keaiwa Camp, and Whitney Camp. These camps, along with Meyer Camp, reflect the organized industrial and agricultural workforce patterns of the Kau District during the Territorial period. The terrain is dramatically defined by active geology, featuring the Great Crack and extensive Lava Flows that descend toward the Pacific Ocean.
