1954 Map of Oahu

About this map

Honolulu serves as the focal point for this mid-century look at Oahu, where the sprawling urban footprint transitions into the massive defense infrastructure of Pearl Harbor and Hickam Air Force Base. The map reveals the island's mid-1950s geography, from the interior industrial presence at Wahiawa and the Schofield Barracks Military Reservation to the coastal plantations and smaller villages like Libbyville and Waimanalo Settlement. Transportation networks include the OR and L Co railway lines, which trace the southern and western coastlines before the era of modern interstate expansion.
