2013 Map of Puu Kahakahakea

About this map

The Pacific Ocean coastline of Hawaiʻi County is the focal point of this coastal survey, where the terrestrial landscape meets the sea at the island's southeastern edge. A prominent historical feature of the terrain is the Lava Flow of 1887, which marks the volcanic activity that has shaped this shoreline over the centuries. Significant coastal landmarks such as Puu Kahakahakea and Hālīpālala provide a look at the topographical high points along this stretch of the coast. The shoreline is further identified by local features including Kākio, Kahakahakea, and Kaimu'uala, illustrating the sparse but named points that define this specific maritime boundary.
