1977 Map of Hauula

About this map

Hauula sits on the windward coast of Oahu, shown here in an orthophotomap produced from 1977 aerial photography. This perspective reveals the dramatic transition from the coastal settlement near the Pacific into the deep, fluted valleys of the interior mountains. The terrain is dominated by steep ridges and the path of Kaluanui Stream, which cuts through the volcanic landscape. To the southwest, the town of Wahiawa marks a shift toward more level ground and residential development, contrasting sharply with the undeveloped slopes of the central range. On the southern edge of the survey, the Ku Tree Res represents the essential water management infrastructure required for the island's interior. This 1970s record provides a clear view of the interface between urban expansion and the island's natural watershed boundaries.
