1977 Map of Schofield Barracks

About this map

Schofield Barracks and the surrounding O'ahu landscape are captured here in high-contrast detail, revealing the sharp divide between military installations and the steep ridges of the Wai'anae Range. The orthophoto imagery, derived from 1970s aerial photography, provides a rare look at the footprint of the Lualualei Naval Ammunition Depot (Niulii Res) tucked against the mountains. To the southwest, the coastal settlement of Nanakuli sits near the shore of the Pacific Ocean, showing the extent of residential development before later modernization. The drainage of Waikele Stream cuts through the central plateau, illustrating how the natural topography dictated the placement of agricultural fields and military infrastructure in this critical central corridor of the island.
