1956 Map of Umikoa

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The high slopes of Hawaii Island are defined here by the massive Mauna Kea Forest Reserve and the active ranching landscape of the mid-1950s. At the heart of this upland economy is Umikoa (Kukaiau Ranch), where a network of rain sheds, water tanks, and a corral demonstrate the infrastructure required for high-altitude livestock management. This is a landscape of profound elevation change, transitioning from the dense forest of the Hamakua Forest Reserve to the cinder cones or "puu" that punctuate the volcanic terrain, including Puu Kea and Puu Mali.
