1956 Map of Upper Piihonua

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Geological history is etched into the landscape of the Piihonua Hilo Forest Reserve, where multiple volcanic events are documented through distinct terrain markings. The mid-1950s survey captures the intersection of natural hazards and infrastructure, specifically where Saddle Road and a Telephone Line traverse older volcanic deposits. A chronological sequence of eruptions is visible, ranging from the Lava Flow of 1852 up through the more recent Lava Flow of 1942.
