About this map

Coastal development along the leeward Oahu shoreline is documented in detail during the early 1960s, showing the concentration of residential and agricultural plots within the expansive homestead lands. The map illustrates the transition from the steep, interior ridges of the Waiānae-Kai Forest Reserve and Makaha Valley down to the settled plains. Large tracts are designated as the US Military Reservation and US Naval Reservation, emphasizing the strategic significance of the area alongside civilian growth in Makaha, Waiānae, and Nanakuli.

Cultural and historical sites are interspersed with modern infrastructure, including the Heiau (Site) near Kaneilio Point and numerous beach parks such as Pokai Bay Beach Park. The prevalence of Keaau Homesteads and Lualualei Homesteads reflects the unique land distribution history of the district, while 여러 Quarry sites and the Farrington Hwy corridor highlight the area's industrial and logistical backbone.
