1994 Map of Pahoa South

USGS Topo · Published 1998

About this map

Pahoa serves as the inland anchor for this coastal survey of the Puna District, where the land is defined by active volcanic history. The topography is dominated by the East Rift Zone and the expansive path of the Lava Flow of 1955, which cuts a wide swath toward the Pacific Ocean. Settlement patterns are distinctly organized into traditional lots such as Kamaili Homesteads, Kikala Keokea Homesteads, and Opihikao Homesteads, reflecting the local agricultural and residential history of the Big Island. Along the rugged southeastern shoreline, small communities like Opihikao, Lolia, and Kehena are connected by coastal routes. Further inland, the University of Hawaii Experimental Station sits near several cinder cones and craters, highlighting the region's importance for geological and botanical research within the Puna Forest Reserve.
