1993 Map of Puaakala

USGS Topo · Published 2001

About this map

Hakalau Forest National Wildlife Refuge dominates this high-elevation landscape on the slopes of Hawaii's volcanic peaks. The map reveals a complex network of forest reserves and conservation areas, including the Hilo Forest Reserve Pħā and the Mauna Kea Forest Reserve, which protect the critical upland watersheds. Local history is anchored by isolated outposts such as the Kanakaleonui Cabin, Hopuwai, and Puaɶakala, which serve as markers of human activity in this remote terrain. The land is carved by numerous gulches and streams, from Hakalau Gulch to the headwaters of the Wailuku River. Unique landmarks like Magnetic Hill and the Cinder Pit reflect the volcanic origins of the region. Transportation is limited to narrow routes like Nauhi Road and the Maulua Trail, which navigate the steep divide between the North Hilo and South Hilo Districts.
