1980 Map of Papaaloa

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Laupahoehoe Pt juts into the Pacific Ocean, anchoring a coastline marked by numerous homestead divisions and the steep gulches of the Hamakua Coast. This 1980 revision, based on surveys dating back to the 1950s, reflects a landscape transitioning from historical plantation-era settlement to contemporary use. Significant local landmarks include the Tidal Wave Memorial at Laupahoehoe County Park and the Laupahoehoe Sch, alongside industrial sites like Cinder Pits and various quarries. The interior is dominated by the Hilo Forest Reserve, where deep ravines carved by the Maulua Stream and Umauma Stream drop toward the sea. The map also identifies the Honohina (Site) and older residential clusters such as Kapehu Camp, providing a record of habitation patterns between the North Hilo District and South Hilo District.
