1959 Map of Honolulu

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

Honolulu rises from the shores of Mamala Bay to the volcanic heights of the Koolau Range in this late-1950s survey. The map documents a period of rapid urban expansion, visible in the dense network of neighborhoods stretching from Kalihi to Kahala. Coastal infrastructure is highly developed, featuring the Honolulu Harbor, Keehi Lagoon, and the Ala Wai Canal which separates Waikiki from the inland districts. Significant military presence is evidenced by Fort Shafter Military Reservation and the Kapalama Military Reservation.
