2017 Map of Volcano

About this map

Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park dominates the southern landscape of this survey, illustrating a terrain defined by active geologic history. The residential community of Volcano sits perched at the northern edge of the park boundary, with its grid of numbered streets like First St and Second St contrasting against the irregular volcanic features nearby. The map precisely documents the intersection of human settlement and eruptive events, specifically identifying the extent of various basaltic deposits including the Lava Flow of 1959 near Kīlauea Iki Crater and the later Lava Flow of 1972 along the Chain of Craters. To the northeast, the rural subdivisions of Glenwood and Fern Forest are reached by a network of local roads such as Wright Rd and Old Volcano Rd, showing the extent of modern development on the Island of Hawai'i.
