1966 Map of Pahoa South

About this map

Volcanic activity defines the Puna District landscape on the Island of Hawaii during the mid-1960s. The map captures the significant reach of the Lava Flow of 1955, which cuts broad paths through the Kamaili Homesteads and Kauauleau toward the Pacific Ocean. This survey reveals the intersection of agricultural resilience and geological instability, noting the Univ of Hawaii Experimental Station alongside several cinder pits. Settlements like Pahoa and Kaniahiku Village are surrounded by extensive forest reserves, including the Puna Forest Reserve. Along the coast, small coastal sites like Opthikao and Lolia sit near Mackenzie State Park, illustrating how local communities and recreation areas coexist with active rift zones. These features, combined with older paths such as the Lava Flow of 1750, provide a detailed record of the island's shifting topography before later major eruptions.
