1995 Map of Pohue Bay

About this map

The boundary between the South Kona and Kau districts divides this coastal landscape, where the volcanic history of Hawaii is strikingly visible. The terrain is defined by expansive geological features such as the Lava Flow of 1887 and the Lava Flow of 1907, which have shaped the movement of settlement and infrastructure. While the Manuka Natural Area Reserve and Manuka State Park preserve the native environment in the northwest, the northeastern portion of the map shows an extensive, geometric network of residential roads like Aloha Boulevard and Ocean View Boulevard. This grid contrasts sharply with the nearby Manuka Mauka House (Site) and older named points such as Kanakaloloa. Along the shoreline, isolated water sources like the Kanonone Waterhole near Pohue Bay highlight the historical necessity of fresh water in an arid volcanic field.
