2013 Map of Volcano

About this map

The Island of Hawaiʻi reveals its volcanic architecture on this 2013 survey, which documents the active landscape of the East Rift Zone. The map centers on the community of Volcano, where a grid of residential streets including Kilauea Rd and several numbered avenues meet Old Volcano Rd. To the northeast, the settlements of Glenwood and Fern Forest occupy the forested slopes above the primary volcanic features. This edition is particularly valuable for its precise labeling of historical geomorphology, tracing the footprints of several significant events including the Lava Flow of 1959 near Kilauea Iki Crater and more recent deposits from the Lava Flow of 1972. The iconic Chain of Craters road alignment provides a reference for the series of pits and vents that define this terrain, from Puhimau Crater and Kōkoʻolau Crater to the distinctively named Devils Throat.
