1956 Map of Upper Piihonua

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Volcanic activity and high-elevation watersheds define this mid-century landscape on the slopes of Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa. The terrain is a chronological record of eruptions, clearly delineating the Lava Flow of 1855, Lava Flow of 1881, and the more recent Lava Flow of 1942. These historical events cut across the Hilo Forest Reserve and the Upper Waiakea Forest Reserve, creating a complex patchwork of vegetation and raw volcanic stone.
