1981 Map of Pua Akala

About this map

Mauna Kea Forest Reserve and the Hilo Forest Reserve define this landscape on the eastern slopes of the Big Island, where the North Hilo District meets the South Hilo District. The map documents a transition from the volcanic heights of Puu Kahinahina and Aahuwela down through the densely carved gulches of the mid-elevation forests. High-altitude outposts such as Kanakaleonui Cabin, Hopuwai, and the Laumaia (Site) are connected by the winding Keanakolu Road, indicating a history of forestry and ranching access. The complex drainage network is anchored by the Wailuku River and numerous perennial flows like Hakalau Stream and Honolii Stream. Of particular interest to local historians is the Spring Water Camp and the presence of a Cinder Pit near the district boundary, marking small-scale industrial activity in this watershed environment.
