About this map

The sacred historical sites of Pu'uomahuka Heiau and Kupupolo Heiau overlook the North Shore of O'ahu, anchoring a landscape where ancient cultural landmarks meet world-renowned coastal features. This 2013 survey details the residential and recreational patterns of settlements like Waimea and Pūpūkea, illustrating how modern infrastructure such as Waimea Valley Rd and Pupukea Rd winds through the steep drainages of Hakuola Gulch and Kalahopele Gulch.

The map traces the complex hydrology of the region from Waimea Falls down the Waimea River to Waimea Bay. Further up the coast, the topography records the specific points and breaks that define the shoreline, including Banzai Beach, Sunset Beach, and Sharks Cove. Cultural points of interest such as the Washington Statue and Camp Pūpūkea provide specific reference points for local history within this famous stretch of the Pacific coast.
