1977 Map of Ewa

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Barbers Point anchors the southwest corner of Oahu in this detailed orthophotoquad, where the industrial and military footprint of the late 1970s is etched into the coastal landscape. Aerial photography from late 1976 and early 1977 reveals the geometric patterns of the Naval Air Station runway system and the sprawling storage tanks of the nearby refinery complex. The contrast between the developed flats and the darker, shadowed slopes rising toward the north is sharp, showing the division between the intense activity at the shoreline and the upland terrain. Further up the coast, Kahe Point stands as a distinct landmark overlooking the Pacific Ocean. This image-based survey provides an exacting look at the infrastructure that defined the Ewa plain during a period of significant logistical and energy-sector growth in the islands.
