1959 Map of Puu Anahulu

About this map

The Lava Flow of 1859 dominates this landscape, carving a wide path through the volcanic terrain between the districts of North Kona and South Kohala. The high elevation is characterized by a network of cattle-related infrastructure and isolated residences, notably the Puu Waawaa Ranch and the Puu Anahulu Homesteads. A thin line of development follows the Mamalahoa Highway as it winds through the lava fields, connecting clusters of volcanic cones like Puu Panini and Puu Kalaukela.
