How to Use This Hanapepe, Hawaii Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Hanapepe, Hawaii. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Hawaii or beyond.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).
TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Hanapepe.
Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

About Hanapepe, Hawaii
Hanapepe is a locality in Kauai County, Hawaii, United States. It has a population of approximately 2,678. The population density is 1107.0 people per km². Hanapepe is located at 21.9141°N, 159.5874°W. It observes the Hawaii Standard Time — no DST (Pacific/Honolulu) timezone. ZIP code: 96716.Hanapepe reveals itself through the rhythmic pulse of the Hanapepe River, which carves a path through the deep, emerald floor of Hanapēpē Valley before reaching toward the Pacific Ocean. It lies 21.0 miles southwest of Kapaa, HI (from Kapaa, HI: bearing 233°T), and is situated 3.9 miles west-southwest of Kalaheo. The topography here is defined by the sharp, dramatic verticality of the landscape, where the earth rises toward the distant, rugged silhouette of Papuaa Ridge. Within the State Department of Land State Resource Management Area, the air carries the faint, saline signature of the coast, tempered by the humidity rising from the verdant basin. Sunlight catches the moisture in the air, casting a soft, golden translucence over the ground that makes the vegetation appear as if it were lit from within, a quiet luminosity that shifts with the trade winds.
Hanapepe carries the quiet sediment of a laboring past, where the echoes of agricultural industry linger in the architecture of the old wooden storefronts that line the main street. Once driven by the vast ambitions of sugarcane and pineapple plantations, the local economy has transitioned into a slower, more deliberate stewardship of craft and culture, honoring the kuleana of those who sustain the taro lo'i and the surrounding land. The influence of Polynesian voyaging history persists in the way the residents navigate the seasons, their lives tethered to the natural cycles of the valley and the nearby Kapa Reservoir. Visitors might find a moment of stillness at the end of a long day, watching the shadows lengthen across the valley floor, far from the reach of the Olokele Trail or the distant, cascading mist of Waiolue Falls.

About This Hanapepe Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Hanapepe, Hawaii. Coordinates: 21.9141, -159.5874. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.
Detailed location data for Hanapepe includes the ZIP code (96716), telephone area code (808), county seat of Kauai County (Līhuʻe), and school district assignment (Hawaii Department of Education).
Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
