2017 Map of Puumakaala

About this map

Mountain View serves as a primary residential cluster on this part of the Island of Hawai'i, where a grid of local roads meets the expansive terrain rising toward Pu'umaka'ala. The landscape is defined by the long, straight trajectory of the Stainback Hwy, which cuts across the upland slopes, providing a critical transit link through the interior. Further south, the map reveals a burgeoning residential network with street names that pay homage to the broader archipelago, including Maui St, Hawaii St, and Oahu St. The presence of Mauna Kea Dr and Mauna Loa Dr suggests a community planned with an eye toward the island’s famous volcanic geography. This 2017 survey reflects the contemporary balance between residential subdivision development and the preservation of the vast, open forested regions that characterize the windward slopes.
