1983 Map of Kahuku

About this map

Kahuku Pt and the surrounding coastline of Oahu’s northern tip appear in this 1983 revision, showcasing a landscape defined by coastal settlements and extensive conservation areas. The region around Laie is notably developed, anchored by the Brigham Young University campus, the Polynesian Cultural Center, and the Laie Temple. To the west, the village of Kahuku is situated near Adams Field and several radio facilities. The map illustrates a complex water system of gulches and streams, such as Malaekahana Stream and Kaunala Stream, which drain the northern slopes of the Koolau Range. Large tracts of land are dedicated to environmental preservation and military use, including the Punamano Nat Wildlife Refuge and the Pupukea Paumalu Forest Reserve. Along the shore, numerous small islets like Mokuauia and Kukuihoolua are identified as state seabird sanctuaries.
