2013 Map of Kaneohe

About this map

O‘ahu’s windward coast is defined here by the meeting of the Ko‘olau Range and the waters of the Pacific. The landscape illustrates a complex water management system necessary for the region's agricultural past and residential present, featuring the Waiāhole Ditch Tunnel, Waihe‘e Tunnel, and McCandless Ditch. Coastal life is centered around He‘eia Boat Harbor and the ancient Waikalua-Loko Fish Pond, while the military presence at Kāne‘ohe Bay Marine Corps Airfield marks the eastern peninsula. Local history is preserved in the names of old residential clusters like Waiāhole Camp and Pũ‘ʼnhala Village. The transit network of the early 21st century is anchored by the Wilson Tunnel and major routes like the North Hālawa Stream valley road, which cut through the steep volcanic terrain to connect the windward side with the rest of the island.
