This large-format map shows the rugged topography of the southeastern portion of the island via hachure and locates the volcanoes of Mauna Loa, Mauna Kea, and Kilauea. In addition to the topography, the map depicts the tracks of the Exploring Expedition to the crater of Moku-a-weo-weo on the top of Mauna Loa. Numerous towns and villages are identified along the coast including Hilo. The map was based upon Wilkes' own observations and is considered one of the most detailed of its time.
