1981 Map of Piihonua

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

The Wailuku River carves a dramatic path through this 1981 survey of the Hilo district, marked by its numerous cataracts including Pepee Falls, Waiake Falls, and the Boiling Pots. The landscape is a study in volcanic succession, where the Lava Flow of 1855 and Lava Flow of 1881 are clearly delineated across the Kaumana Homesteads. These historic flows significantly influenced the settlement patterns of Kaumana and Piihonua, where residential development meets the massive Hilo Forest Reserve.
