1959 Map of Puu Anahulu

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

The volcanic terrain of Hawaii's Big Island dominates this 1959 survey, where the massive Lava Flow of 1859 and the Kaniku Lava Flow cut distinct paths across the landscape. The human presence is centered at the Puu Waawaa Ranch and the settlement of Puu Anahulu, which are connected by the Mamalahoa Highway. Notable land use is evident in the Puu Anahulu Homesteads and specialized agricultural features like the Molasses Tank and Rain Shed near the ranch. The map documents numerous cinder cones or "puus," including Puu Waawaa, Puu Kukai, and Puu Haole, which serve as landmarks in this geologically active region. Genealogy and local history researchers will find the Graves location and the district boundary between South Kohala and North Kona useful for pinpointing specific early 20th-century family locations and property lines.
