About this map

Manuka State Park and the surrounding Manuka Forest Reserve dominate this landscape on the island of Hawaii in the early 1960s. The terrain is defined by historic volcanic activity, specifically the stark Lava Flow of 1907 and the Lava Flow of 1887, which carve paths through the vegetation down toward the Pacific Ocean. A small residential subdivision is visible in the northeast, featuring a grid of roads with names like Orchid and Sea Breeze that contrast with the primitive Jeep Trail network elsewhere.

Along the coastline, isolated landmarks such as Pohue Bay and Keliuli Bay provide points of reference near the Kanonone Waterhole. Traces of human history appear in the form of a Grave near Manuka Mauka House, a seaside Cem, and ancient Petroglyphs along the Petroglyphs Trail. The map also notes a Bombing Target Range Marker near Na Puu a Pele, reflecting mid-century military use of the shoreline.
