Antique Mauna Kea, Hawaii 1930 US Geological Survey Topographic Map – Hamakua, North Hilo District, Waikamakapo, Umikoa, Dairy, Puu, HI

Beautiful, antique map of Mauna Kea, Hawaii and surrounding area on the Island of Hawaii, home now to half a dozen observatories and telescopes. This is an authentic 1930 edition, 1943 print from the U.S. Geological Survey and NOT a computer reproduction.

See what the Hamakua & North Hilo Districts of Hawaii looked like over 90 years ago. Lots of intricate details and geological contours. Map even has little squares for every house that existed at the time. The USGS cartographers were very thorough back then!

Perfect for the historian, map-lover, the curious or just as a conversation starter. Wonderful and rare. Vintage maps such as these make great gifts.

Edition of 1930, printed 1943
