About this map

Koolau Range ridges and deep forest reserves dominate this mid-century view of Oahu's windward and interior landscapes. The coastal settlement at Hauula is bordered by the Pacific Ocean, while an Abandoned RR line suggests the changing transportation needs of former sugar plantations. To the southwest, the urban development of Wahiawa and Whitmore Village sits adjacent to major military installations, including the Schofield Barracks Military Reservation (East Range) and a Naval Reservation.

A complex network of gulches and streams, such as Opaeula Stream and Helemano Stream, carves through the Kawailoa Forest Reserve and Hauula Forest Reserve. Local history is noted through features like Bryans Mountain House and the Leilehua High Sch. The map also captures significant landmarks including the Sacred Falls (Kaliuwaa) and the Ku Tree Reservoir, providing a detailed record of water resources and mountain topography during a period of significant military and civil growth on the island.
