2013 Map of Kaena OE W

About this map

Pacific Ocean waters dominate this quadrangle, centering on the extreme western tip of Oahu. The landmass shown is limited to the rocky protrusion of Ka'ena Point, a site of significant navigational importance. The presence of the Ka'ena Point Lighthouse at this coastal extremity indicates the area's role in maritime safety for vessels rounding the island. This topographic study, produced by the U.S. Geological Survey using 2010 digital imagery, provides a precise record of the shoreline and immediate terrain at the point of land where the island's northern and western coasts meet.
