1983 Map of Honolua

About this map

The dense urban grid of Honolulu and its residential valleys is mapped here as it appeared in the early 1980s, revealing the complex layers of Hawaii's capital. From the maritime hubs of Honolulu Harbor and Keehi Lagoon to the steep ridges of the Koolau Range, the map illustrates a city defined by both its volcanic geography and its military and educational significance. High-visibility landmarks such as the Punchbowl crater, home to the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific, and the Diamond Head State Monument anchor the southern coastline.
