About this map

Volcanic history and water resource management define the landscape west of Hilo, where the Wailuku River cuts through diverse terrain. The map clearly delineates major historical geological events, including the Lava Flow of 1881, the Lava Flow of 1855, and the Lava Flow of 1852, showing how these flows shaped the subsequent development of Kaumana Homesteads and Waiakea Homesteads.
