1996 Map of Puu Anahulu

USGS Topo · Published 1998

About this map

Lava Flow of 1859 dominates this landscape, carving a wide path across the terrain of the Big Island. This survey details the complex geological and cultural history of the North Kona region during the mid-1990s. The Puu Anahulu Homesteads provide a clear view of early Hawaiian land divisions and agricultural settlement patterns, centered near the small community of Puuanahulu. Scattered through the lava fields and upland areas are traditional landmarks and ranching sites, including the Puu Waawaa Ranch and the prominent cinder cone of Puu Waawaa. The map documents numerous long-standing rock walls, reflecting generations of land management and property boundaries. Other notable features like the Kaniku Lava Flow and various family-named pu'u (hills) such as Puu Kukai and Puu Haole highlight the indigenous geographic naming conventions that define this volcanic region.
