2013 Map of Pahoa North

About this map

Island of Hawai'i's Puna District coastline is defined by a rigorous grid of residential development and volcanic history. The vast subdivision of Hawaiian Paradise Park dominates the northwest, its numbered avenues and named streets like Paradise Dr and Kilika St stretching from the interior down toward the rocky shore at Kaloli Point. This orderly geometry contrasts sharply with the geological record of the Lava Flow of 1840, which remains a prominent feature of the landscape south of the Hawaiian Beaches settlement. Near the southern edge of the quadrangle, the community of Pāhoa serves as a local hub, while the residential pocket of Ainaloa occupies the southwestern corner. Along the Pacific Ocean, coastal landmarks such as Mokuopihi Point, Opihi Rock, and Auwae mark the interface between the volcanic land and the sea, illustrating the ongoing settlement of this dynamic shoreline.
