About this map

Schofield Military Reservation and the sprawling Wheeler Air Force Base dominate the northern plateau of central Oahu, reflecting the island's strategic military importance during the early 1960s. The landscape transitions from the dense street grids of Schofield Barracks and Wahiawa into the sharp, verdant ridges of the Waianae Range. Key transit corridors like Kunia Road and Kolekole Road link the interior uplands to the coastal settlement at Nanākuli and the Pacific Ocean.

Cultural and industrial development is evident in the inclusion of the International Country Club, the Wahiawa Reservoir, and a Cement Plant near the coast. Genealogists and historians can trace residential growth in the Wahiawa Homesteads and find specific local landmarks such as Kunia Camp and the historic Kolekole Pass. The map also delineates extensive forest reserves, including the Honouliuli Forest Reserve, illustrating the balance between military utility, agriculture, and land preservation.
