1980 Map of Pahoa South

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

The East Rift Zone defines the volcanic character of this Puna District landscape, where the devastating Lava Flow of 1955 is recorded cutting across the Kamaili Homesteads and reaching the Pacific Ocean. This survey captures the Puna coast in 1980, a time of transition between traditional agricultural homesteads and modern geothermal exploration, evidenced by the Geothermal Well near Puu Kepaka. Settlement clusters around the inland hub of Pahoa and the coastal village of Opihikao, with an extensive network of homestead tracts like Keokea and Keauohana revealing the long history of land division in the region. Notable landmarks including Lava Tree State Park and Mackenzie State Park flank the shoreline, while the presence of the Old Railroad Grade and the Univ of Hawaii Experimental Station reflect the area's economic evolution from rail-era transport to scientific research.
