About this map

Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park and its surrounding communities define this landscape, where residential development meets active geological forces. The map details the intricate street networks of Mauna Loa Estates and Royal Hawaiian Estates Island of Hawai'i, which sit adjacent to the dense volcanic features of the Hawai'i Volcanoes Wilderness. This proximity highlights the unique intersection of modern Hawaiian life and the island's volatile natural history.

Evidence of recent activity is clearly marked by the Lava Flow of 1972, Lava Flow of 1968, and the older Lava Flow of 1922 near Napau Crater. From the established settlement of Volcano to the remote Devils Throat, the terrain is punctuated by significant landmarks like Kilauea Iki Crater and Twin Craters. This 2024 survey captures the evolving footprint of human habitation in a region shaped by continuous volcanic change.
