About this map

The coastal settlements of Haleiwa and Waialua anchor this 1983 revision, showcasing the intricate water management systems of Oahu's North Shore. The landscape is defined by the transition from the Pacific Ocean at Waialua Bay to the rising elevations of the Waianae Range. Inland, the map reveals the legacy of the plantation era with residential clusters like Opaeula Camp 3, Kemoo Camp 4, and Poamoho Camp, all supported by a complex network of ditches and reservoirs including Kaheaka Res and the Wahiawa Reservoir.

Industrial and military footprints are prominent, from the Sugar Mill in Waialua to the sprawling Schofield Barracks Military Reservation in the south. Landmarks such as Weed Circle and the University of Hawaii Experiment Station provide specific points of interest for local historians. Natural features like the Anahulu River and the steep slopes of Mt Kaala contrast with the engineered landscape of siphons and pumping stations that facilitated the region's agricultural past.
