1956 Map of Puu Hinai

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

The volcanic coastline of Lalamilo and Lahuipuaa dominates this mid-century survey of the Big Island's western shore. Along the edge of Kawaihae Bay, the map documents a series of traditional coastal features, including the Manoku Fishpond, Keanapou Fishpond, and Hopeaia Fishpond. This era represents a period before major resort development, where the landscape is defined by vast volcanic fields such as the Kaniku Lava Flow and the prominent Lava Flow of 1859, which reaches the sea south of Waima Point.
