1982 Map of Puu Lehua

About this map

Puu Lehua Ranch sits at the heart of this upland terrain on the Island of Hawaii, where volcanic geology and ranching history converge. The landscape is defined by extensive lava flows and kipukas—pockets of older vegetation spared by more recent flows—such as Kipuka Paluli and Lupea Kipuka. In an area famously labeled Devil Country, the map reveals the ingenious water management required for high-elevation ranching, evidenced by numerous Water Tanks and specialized structures like the Rain-Shed Water Tanks. Local heritage is preserved through former habitation markers, including the Kahelepo House (Site) and Nahaina (Site). The terrain transitions through various tracts such as Lehuula Mauka Tract and Hokukano Mauka Tract, following the boundary line between the North Kona and South Kona Districts.
