About this map

Pearl Harbor dominates the southern landscape of this mid-1980s record, where the waters of Middle Loch, East Loch, and West Loch meet the developed shorelines of Waipahu, Pearl City, and Aiea. The map reveals the intense mid-century urbanization of the Ewa District, tracing the expansion of Mililani Town and Pacific Palisades against the backdrop of the Waianae Uka mountains.

Military and institutional land use is prominent, spanning the Schofield Barracks Military Reservation to the south and the Waimano Training School and Hospital complex. Significant infrastructure of the era, such as the Aloha Stadium and Leeward Community College, sits alongside natural and cultural sites like the Pearl City Nat Wildlife Refuge and Keaiwa Heiau State Park. These details capture the island's evolution as residential communities grew around established naval and agricultural lands.
