1965 Map of Oahu

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Oahu is depicted here during a period of significant mid-century expansion, dominated by a heavy military presence and the burgeoning urbanization of Honolulu. The island's geography is defined by its dramatic volcanic landmarks, from the iconic Diamond Head and Koko Crater on the southeastern coast to the heights of Mt Kaala in the Waianae Range. The strategic importance of the island is evident in the sprawling installations at Pearl Harbor, Hickam Air Force Base, and Schofield Barracks. Inland, the map reveals the transitional state of the landscape, where massive forest reserves like the Pupukea-Paumalu Forest Reserve meet growing residential hubs in Waipahu and Pearl City. Transportation networks are shown in a state of modernization, including the early routes of H-1 and H-2 and the Keehi Lagoon Seadrome, reflecting the island's role as a critical Pacific crossroads.
