An uncommon German map of Hawaii similar in outline to William Ellis' map of 1827, but with the lava flows of 1823-1859 clearly shown. The map is based on the work of William T. Brigham who explored the volcanoes on the Island of Hawaii in 1864-65. The topography is defined through hachure, with Mauna Loa, Kilauea, and Kealakua Bay among the place names noted. An uncommon and early map which focuses on lava flows.

Map is very good, but with close trim with partial loss to text at bottom below the neatline. A short fold separation into the map has been repaired on the verso with archival tape.
