1982 Map of Puu Koli

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Pohakuloa Training Area dominates this mid-20th-century landscape, positioned where the high-altitude slopes of Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea meet at the Humuula Saddle. This volcanic terrain is defined by successive volcanic events, most notably the Lava Flow of 1843 and the Lava Flow of 1935, which crosscut the high-desert scrub and forest reserves. The network of naming reflects a layered history of utility, from the Kaohe Forest Reserve and Mauna Loa Forest Reserve to modern military infrastructure. Specialized transport routes like the Aviation Trail, Engineer Trail, and Redleg Trail reveal how the military utilized this demanding geography for training maneuvers. Meanwhile, extraction at several Cinder Pits and the presence of the Pohakuloa Game Management Area point to the diverse ways this interior land has been managed between Hawaii’s volcanic peaks.
