1962 Map of Puu Hou

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

The volcanic coastline of the Kahuku district is defined by historical eruptions that reached the Pacific Ocean. This 1962 field-checked survey reveals the stark intersection of geological activity and human habitation, notably where the Lava Flow of 1887 and the Lava Flow of 1868 scarred the terrain near Pakininui. For the researcher, the map identifies specific cultural locations such as the Kahio (Site) and Kailikii (Site), alongside small coastal settlements like Waialua and Hawea. A simple Jeep Trail provides the primary overland access to these points, winding past features like Puu Hou and vital resources like the Water Holes near Haliipalala. The presence of an Indefinite Boundary and various puu, including Puu Waimanalo, highlights the complex topography of this southwestern Hawaii shore.
