About this map

High-elevation ranchlands and volcanic slopes define this portion of the Island of Hawaii during the late twentieth century. Umikoa (Kuka'iau Ranch) serves as a primary point of human activity, situated among a network of gulches and ridges that drain the northeastern face of the mountain. The landscape is marked by land divisions like Pa'auhau and Ka'ohe 2, with large swaths protected within the Mauna Kea Forest Reserve and Hamakua Forest Reserve.

Evidence of historical land use appears through the presence of a long Rock Wall and the Keanakolu Road, which traverses the high ground. Notable geological features include numerous cinder cones such as Pu'umoana and Iolehaehae. The map also identifies earlier sites of habitation, including Waikamakapo (Site) and the Pohakea Homesteads, alongside localized points of interest like Halepiula and Hanaipoe.
