Hell's Half Acre was created when basaltic pāhoehoe quickly flowed out of the volcanic rift. At least eight lava lobes have been identified by geologists. Hell's Half Acre is a basaltic lava plain. The area was created from multiple lava flows over a period of centuries. Scientists believe the landscape was created as early as 3250 BC.
The current name of the lava field was given to it by fur traders in the early 19th century seeking passage through the rough terrain of the Rocky Mountains. The term "hell's half acre" was a commonly used expression to describe any rough land.
