2013 Map of Papa

About this map

Volcanic activity and agricultural settlement define this coastal landscape on the Island of Hawai'i. The map documents a sequence of early 20th-century eruptions, including the Lava Flow of 1907, the Lava Flow of 1916, and the large 'Ālika Lava Flow of 1919, which dramatically reshaped the terrain. Amidst these geological markers, the small settlement of Pāpā and the Honomalino Camp illustrate the human presence in the region. Industrial activity is noted at the Koa Mill and Ohia Mill, likely tied to the timber or ranching operations of the era, such as those along Yee Hop Ranch Road 2. The southeastern portion of the map shows a modern grid system with street names like Island Blvd, Catamaran Ln, and Pineapple Pkwy, contrasting with the more dispersed rural landmarks like Wailohi and the One Hundred Acre Waterhole.
