1982 Map of Puu Oo

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

Lava Flow of 1843 and subsequent volcanic deposits from 1855, 1881, 1899, and 1935 dominate this high-altitude landscape on the Big Island. The central artery of Saddle Road cuts across the lava fields, connecting isolated outposts like the Humuula Sheep Station and Kalaieha. This region is a study in land management and utility, where the Pohakuloa Training Area sits adjacent to vast protected lands including the Kaohe Forest Reserve and Mauna Loa Forest Reserve. High-elevation ranching is evidenced by the Puu Oo Ranch and several water tanks and reservoirs scattered across the terrain. Notable cinder cones like Puu Oo, Puu Kole, and Puu Kahiliku punctuate the landscape, serving as prominent landmarks for navigation across the open terrain. Smaller settlements such as Hookomo and Omaokoili mark the sparse human footprint in this volcanic environment.
