About this map

JBPHH Pearl Harbor-HI and the surrounding military infrastructure anchor this modern view of the southern Oahu coastline. The complex geography of the harbor is defined by the West Loch, Middle Loch, and East Loch, which frame the central Ford Island. The landscape reflects decades of strategic development, from the World War II Valor in the Pacific National Monument to the massive footprint of the Daniel K Inouye International Airport along the Māmala Bay shoreline.

Residential and military housing areas like Foster Village, Aliamanu, and Hickam Housing fill the spaces between natural volcanic features such as Makalapa Crater and Aliamanu Crater. To the west, the transition from industrial and military use to civilian residential growth is evident in communities like Ewa Beach and Waipahu, while the Pearl Harbor National Wildlife Refuge preserves critical shoreline habitat amidst the urban expansion of Honolulu.
