About this map

The Wailuku River carves a dramatic path through this landscape, featuring prominent landmarks such as the Boiling Pots and Wailuku River State Park. The terrain is significantly defined by volcanic history, with distinct boundaries marking the Lava Flow of 1855, Lava Flow of 1881, and Lava Flow of 1852 as they advanced toward the coast. These geological events shaped the development of settlements like Piihonua and Kaumana, as well as the numerous agricultural tracts identified as Punahoa Homesteads and Kaumana Homesteads.
