1978 Map of Koko Head

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Koko Head and the surrounding coastline of southeastern Oahu are captured in this late-1970s orthophotograph, providing a detailed visual record of the land just as suburban expansion was defining the area. The imagery highlights the stark contrast between the steep, dramatic ridges of Olomana Peak and the expanding residential developments lining the shores of Maunalua Bay. Unlike traditional topographic maps, this photo-based survey reveals the exact texture of the 1970s landscape, from the individual rooftops and road networks of local neighborhoods to the offshore presence of Manana Island in the Pacific Ocean. This document serves as a valuable resource for tracing the physical growth of these coastal communities and the preservation of the prominent volcanic headlands during a period of rapid change in Hawaii.
