1982 Map of Puu Ulaula

About this map

Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and the Mauna Loa Forest Reserve dominate this high-altitude volcanic landscape, which is defined by the massive Northeast Rift Zone. This 1982 survey provides a precise record of historical activity, documenting a succession of flows such as the Lava Flow of 1843, the Lava Flow of 1899, and the more recent Lava Flow of 1942. The map illustrates how these eruptions have layered across the terrain of Kapapala and Keauhou over more than a century.
