1956 Map of Puu O Uo

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Lava Flow of 1859 dominates this high-elevation landscape on the slopes of Mauna Loa, cutting a wide path across the terrain of Keauhou 2. This mid-1950s survey captures a stark volcanic environment defined by dramatic elevation changes and sparse vegetation. The boundary between the North Kona District and Hamakua District runs through this remote area, which is largely encompassed by the Mauna Loa Game Reserve and Forest Reserve. A single distinctive landmark, the cinder cone of Puu o Uo, sits near the southern edge of the sheet, while the survey station at Kaphe VABM 9307 provides a fixed point of reference in a terrain shaped by relatively recent geologically active processes.
