1981 Map of Wood Valley

About this map

The Southwest Rift Zone defines the volatile geography of this 1981 survey, where the terrestrial power of Kilauea is visible in the stark Great Crack and the Keamoku Lava Flow of 1823. In the eastern section, the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park boundary meets the high elevations of Kaoiki, while to the west, the Kapapala Forest Reserve blankets the slopes above the Wood Valley Homesteads. Human settlement persists in the shadow of these geological forces at the Kapapala Ranch and Wood Valley Camp, connected by historical routes like the Peter Lee Road and the Ainapo Trail. The map also documents essential water sources in this environment, such as the Pakon Waterhole and Kaopapawai Waterhole, alongside unique volcanic features like the Ponohohoa Chasms.
