About this map

Alika Lava Flow of 1919 and the Hoopuloa Lava Flow of 1926 dominate this 1981 survey of the South Kona District on the Island of Hawaii. The map illustrates the profound impact of volcanic activity on land use, showing how these solidified paths cut through established land divisions such as Alika and Hoopuloa. Local industries are represented by the presence of Ohia Mill and Koa Mill within the forested uplands, while the Alika Homesteads and Papa Homesteads reflect early twentieth-century attempts at agricultural settlement in the South Kona Forest Reserve.
