Schofield Barracks Military Reservation and the sprawling facilities of Wheeler Air Force Base anchor the central plateau of Oahu in this 1960s survey. The landscape is defined by the sharp verticality of the Waianae Range, where landmarks like Puu Hapapa and Puu Kanehoa separate the military and agricultural lowlands from the coastal reaches of Nanakuli. Local life is visible in the residential pockets of Wahiawa and the specialized settlement at Kunia Camp, while the Waiahole Ditch system illustrates the island's complex water management for mid-century agriculture. From the Kolekole Pass to the industrial quarry near the Pacific, the map documents a period of significant military presence and infrastructure development, including the early construction phases of the h1 highway and the recreational grounds of the Hawaii Country Club.
