1963 Map of Puu Pohakuloa

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The South Kona Forest Reserve dominates this high-elevation landscape on the Big Island, where historical land divisions and volcanic activity shape the terrain. Extensive lava flows from 1950, 1919, and earlier cross the slopes, cutting through traditional land units like Honokua and Kaapuna. High-altitude ranching and settlement patterns are evident at Kaohe Ranch and Hopper Camp, while the Haukalua 2 Homesteads and Kukuiopae Homesteads mark earlier efforts at organized habitation. Essential water sources for the region's cattle and inhabitants are carefully noted, including Lumiawai Waterhole and various Rain Sheds. The map provides a look at the boundary between the South Kona and Kau Districts, following a line that passes the cinder cone of Puu Pohakuloa.
