1965 Map of Kahuku

About this map

Kahuku Pt serves as the northernmost anchor for this coastal survey of Oahu, where the agricultural and religious heritage of the North Shore is clearly visible. The landscape is defined by the transition from the Koolau Range and the Kahuku Forest Reserve down to the coastal plains. Near the settlement of Laie, the map shows the prominent Laie Temple alongside the Church College of Hawaii and the Polynesian Cultural Center, marking this area as a significant cultural and educational hub. Industrial and military history is etched into the land via the Old Railroad Grade and the Kahuku Airfield, while the shoreline is dotted with numerous bird refuges like Kihewamoku I and Mokuaia I. Inland, a complex network of flumes, pumping stations, and an aqueduct illustrates the sophisticated water management systems required for the region's plantation-era development.
