1968 Map of Puuloa

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Ford Island and the intricate lochs of Pearl Harbor anchor this late 1960s survey of Oahu's southern coast. The landscape is dominated by heavy military and aviation infrastructure, from the sprawling Hickam Air Force Base to the memorials of the USS Arizona and USS Utah. The transition from mid-century defense to modern commercial aviation is evident at Honolulu International Airport, featuring its distinct seaplane runway in Keehi Lagoon. Residential growth is visible at Ewa Beach and Foster Village, while the interior terrain is defined by volcanic features like Aliamanu Crater and Makalapa Crater. This edition captures a specific era of Hawaiian history when specialized facilities like the Honolulu Observatory (USC&GS) and the FAA Ewa Radio Station operated alongside massive coastal defense installations such as Fort Weaver and the Fort Kamehameha Military Reservation.
