1952 Map of Waimea

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The North Shore of Oahu is defined by its dramatic transition from the Pacific Ocean to the steep gulches and ridges of the Pupukea Forest Reserve. Coastal life centers on the sweep of Waimea Bay and the legendary sands of Sunset Beach, connected by the Kamerameha Highway. This mid-century survey captures the region's deep cultural history through the preservation of ancient sites like Puu O Mahuka Heiau overlooking the bay and Kupupolo Heiau further south along Kawailoa Beach. Inland, the landscape is a network of water-carved valleys, including Hakuola Gulch and Paumalu Gulch, where several streams converge. The mapped area reflects a mix of small settlements at Maunawai and Waimea alongside agricultural and institutional presence at Pupukea Homestead and Camp Pupukea, all situated within the jurisdictional bounds of the KoolauLoa District and Waialua District.
