1981 Map of Puu Anahulu

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

The Lava Flow of 1859 dominates the northern landscape of this island region, cutting a wide swathe across the terrain from the slopes toward the coast. This geological legacy frames the human activity of the area, most notably at the Puu Anahulu Homesteads and the sprawling Puu Waawaa Ranch. The map captures a moment in the early 1980s when traditional land use and modern infrastructure coexisted, evidenced by the presence of a remote Landing Strip and numerous Water Tanks necessary for life in the dry volcanic rain shadow.
