About this map

Pearl Harbor dominates this coastal landscape, serving as a massive hub of military and aviation activity during the late 1960s. The water is divided into several sections, including West Loch, Middle Loch, and East Loch, with the iconic USS Arizona and USS Utah resting near Ford Island. Along the shoreline, Hickam Air Force Base and the Honolulu International Airport show significant development, with runways stretching toward Keehi Lagoon.

Further inland, the terrain is shaped by the volcanic Aliamanu Crater and the unique Salt Lake. Residential growth is evident in communities like Foster Village and Ewa Beach, where schools such as Campbell High Sch and Our Lady of Perpetual Help Sch serve the expanding population. Scientific and defense installations are scattered throughout, from the Honolulu Observatory (USC&GS) to the Puuloa Rifle Range, illustrating the intersection of civil infrastructure and military presence.
