1977 Map of Haleiwa

About this map

Haleiwa and the surrounding North Shore landscape are captured in this 1977 orthophotoquad, showing the transition from the coastal settlement to the agricultural uplands. The imagery reveals the intricate patterns of fields and gulches that characterize this part of Oahu, leading southward toward Wahiawa. The prominent coastal landmark of Puaena Point stands at the edge of the Pacific Ocean, marking the entrance to the bay. To the south, the structured layout of Schofield Barracks is visible, reflecting the significant military presence that shaped the region's development during the late twentieth century. Unlike a standard topographic map, this photographic survey provides a direct view of land use, forest cover, and the built environment at a time when the sugar industry and military operations remained central to the island's economy.
