1963 Map of Volcano
USGS Topo · Published 1964About this map
The community of Volcano sits at the threshold of Kilauea's active volcanic landscape in this 1963 field-checked survey. The map details the transition from the dense tropical canopy of the surrounding forest reserves to the stark geological features of the summit area. Notable landmarks include the massive Kilauea Iki Crater and the nearby Thurston Lava Tube, illustrating the unique volcanic plumbing of the Big Island. To the northeast, the settlement of Glenwood is positioned along the transit corridor leading toward the coast. This record captures the human presence at the edge of the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park before decades of subsequent eruptions altered the local topography, documenting the benchmarks and roads as they existed in the early 1960s.
