1983 Map of Pearl Harbor

About this map

Ford Island and its Naval Air Station center this detailed maritime and military landscape, where the resting places of the USS Arizona and USS Utah remain marked within the waters of Pearl Harbor. The 1980s-era topography reveals the massive scale of the Honolulu International Airport and Hickam Air Force Base, showing their seaplane runways stretching into Keehi Lagoon. Inland, the dramatic geological feature Aliamanu Crater and the nearby Salt Lake stand in contrast to the dense residential growth of Foster Village and Ewa Beach. To the west, the Waipio Peninsula Naval Reservation and Puuloa Naval Reservation dominate the coastline, including the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center and the Puuloa Rifle Range. The map illustrates a complex network of defense infrastructure and urban expansion, from the National Wildlife Refuge to the schools of Kamiloa.
