How to Use This Volcano, Hawaii Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Volcano, Hawaii. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Hawaii or beyond.

Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Volcano.

Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.

Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

About Volcano, Hawaii

Volcano is a locality in Hawaii County, Hawaii, United States. It is a small community with a population of 736. The population density is 10.6 people per km². Volcano is located at 19.4864°N, 155.2774°W. It observes the Hawaii Standard Time — no DST (Pacific/Honolulu) timezone. ZIP code: 96785.

Volcano emerges from the mist as a realm of high-altitude dampness, where ancient ferns and towering ohi’a trees define a landscape defined by cooling basaltic rock. It lies 20.5 miles southwest of Hawaiian Paradise Park, HI (from Hawaiian Paradise Park, HI: bearing 236°T), and is situated 16.9 miles west-southwest of Ainaloa. The ground beneath one’s feet in Volcano feels porous and alive, absorbing the frequent, cool rains that sustain the dense growth within the Kīlauea Forest Reserve. To the west, the massive, dark silhouette of Mauna Loa dominates the horizon, a silent sentinel over the rugged, uneven terrain that dips into the Kūkamāhuākea. The air here holds a distinct, metallic clarity, often thick with the damp, earthy scent of moss and the quiet anticipation of a shifting climate that transforms the light from sharp morning brilliance to a soft, charcoal gray by late afternoon.

Life in Volcano remains tethered to the rugged topography managed by the State Department of Land State Resource Management Area, which dictates the pace of development and the preservation of the surrounding wilderness. Residents often find themselves traversing the Kīlauea Iki Trail, a path that cuts through the stark evidence of the earth’s internal heat, grounding the local economy in a shared stewardship of natural wonders rather than heavy industry. While the nearest water, such as Solomons Waterhole, lies ten miles away, and the distant Waiākea Stream remains far removed from the daily rhythm, the inhabitants maintain a profound sense of kuleana toward the land. This commitment to the environment shapes the neighborhood, where small-scale agriculture and a quiet, deliberate lifestyle prevail, far removed from the bustle of commerce, leaving only the sound of wind through the canopy and the persistent, slow growth of the forest.
