About this map

Kahuku and Laie occupy the northern tip of Oahu on this 1983 revision, showcasing a landscape where coastal agriculture and conservation meet major institutional development. The shoreline is marked by the presence of Punamano Nat Wildlife Refuge and the Ki Nat Wildlife Refuge, while an inland Aqueduct, siphon, and numerous wells indicate the complex water management required for the region.

The settlement of Laie is centered around significant cultural landmarks including the Laie Temple, the Polynesian Cultural Center, and Brigham Young University. To the west, the terrain rises sharply into the Koolau Range and the Pupukea Paumalu Forest Reserve. Evidence of the area's older infrastructure persists through a coastal Railroad segment and the Landing Strip at Kahuku Pt, alongside the modern Malaeekahana State Recreation Area.
