1956 Map of Puu Oo

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Humuula Sheep Station and Puu Oo Ranch stand as isolated outposts of human habitation in this high-altitude landscape between the volcanic giants of Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa. The terrain is a complex record of geological events, marked by a series of significant historical events including the Lava Flow of 1843, Lava Flow of 1855, and the Lava Flow of 1935. These flows cut across the Saddle, influencing the path of the Saddle Road and the various jeep trails that navigate the rocky territory.
