1968 Map of Kaneohe

About this map

Koolau Range peaks like Eleao and Puu Keahiakahoe form a dramatic backdrop for the windward communities of Oahu during the late 1960s. The landscape transitions from the dense Honolulu Watershed Forest Reserve down to the complex coastline of Kaneohe Bay, where extensive coral reefs and ancient structures like Heeia Pond and Kahaluu Pond remain visible. This period shows significant suburban and institutional development, including the State Hospital, Byodo-In Temple, and the sprawling Hawaiian Memorial Park (Cem). Local agriculture and residential patterns are preserved in the various land divisions such as Waiahole Homesteads and Halekou Waikaluakai Homesteads. On the water, a Cable Ferry serves Moku o Loe, home to the University of Hawaii Marine Laboratory, while the Kaneohe Marine Corps Air Station occupies the eastern peninsula.
