About this map

The coastal forests and growing homesteads of Puna dominate this 1981 survey of the shoreline south of Hilo. The landscape is defined by the Lava Flow 1840, a geological scar that cuts across the Nanawale Forest Reserve toward the Pacific Ocean. Development patterns are evident in the vast grid of the Keonepoko Homesteads and the residential tracks branching from Railroad Ave and Paradise Drive. Along the rocky coast, landmarks like Honolulu Landing and Kaloli Point mark the interface between the volcanic land and the sea, while the Makuu (Site) suggests earlier settlement locations. In the interior, the Pahoa Landing Strip and a National Guard Reservation provide infrastructure for this expanding rural community during the early 1980s.
