1969 Map of Koko Head

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The southeastern tip of Oahu is dominated by the volcanic forms of Koko Crater and Koko Head, creating a landscape where residential expansion meets protected natural reserves. During the late 1960s, the development of Hawaii Kai was transforming the area around Kuapa Pond, signaling a shift from rural coastal lands to planned suburban communities. Along the windward shore, Waimanalo Beach and the Bellows Air Force Station (Inactive) occupy the lowlands beneath the sheer cliffs of the Koolau Range. This era captures the transition of the Koolaupoko and Honolulu Districts, where large institutional sites like the Kawailoa Girls Home and the University of Hawaii Solar Observatory stood alongside growing neighborhoods like Aina Haina and Niu Valley. The map also details offshore features including Manana Island and the famous Halona Point Blowhole.
