1982 Map of Puu Pohakuloa

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

The Honokua Lava Flow of 1950 dominates this upland landscape, carving distinct paths through the lush South Kona Forest Reserve. These recent geologic events are mapped alongside older agricultural land divisions, including the Kukuiopae Homesteads and Haukalua 2 Homesteads, illustrating the historical push for settlement on the volcanic slopes. The terrain is marked by essential water infrastructure for ranching and survival, such as the Lumiawai Waterhole and several Rain Sheds scattered at high elevations. Tracing the Trail and various 4WD routes reveals a network connecting isolated locations like Hopper Camp and Kaohe Ranch to the more prominent peak of Puu Pohakuloa. The map documents a rugged transition where human industry, represented by a Corral and named land tracts, meets the raw, advancing power of Hawaiian lava flows.
