1977 Map of Kahuku

About this map

The northernmost tip of Oahu is captured in this orthophotomap, showing the coastal landscape as it existed in the late 1970s. This aerial-based survey provides a visual record of the shoreline from Kahuku Point down to the settlement of Laie. Unlike traditional topographic maps, this imagery reveals the actual ground cover, agricultural patterns, and building footprints within the community of Kahuku. The rocky coastline and prominent headlands like Makahoa Point meet the Pacific Ocean, offering researchers a clear look at the physical environment before further modern development. This document is particularly valuable for seeing the exact distribution of residential structures and open fields during this era.
