How to Use This Heeia, Hawaii Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Heeia, 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 Heeia.

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 Heeia, Hawaii

Heeia is a locality in Honolulu County, Hawaii, United States. It has a population of approximately 5,001. The population density is 603.2 people per km². Heeia is located at 21.4202°N, 157.8189°W. It observes the Hawaii Standard Time — no DST (Pacific/Honolulu) timezone. ZIP code: 96744.

Heeia emerges as a distinct coastal landscape where the verdant slopes of the Koolau Range stand watch over the horizon. It lies 1.6 miles north-northwest of Kaneohe, HI (from Kaneohe, HI: bearing 345°T), and is situated 8.8 miles north-northeast of Honolulu. The lifeblood of the land is the He‘eia Stream, which ribbons through the terrain before meeting the salt-heavy air of the Pacific Ocean. Nearby, the quiet waters of He‘eia Pond mirror the shifting light of the sky, grounding the expanse in a deep, reflective stillness. Residents often look toward the gentle rise of ʻIolekaʻa Valley, where the air carries the cool, damp breath of the nearby Kāneʻohe Forest Reserve. At the Shoreline, the rhythm of the tides defines the daily passage of time, marking a persistent connection to the sea.

Heeia maintains a heritage deeply rooted in the traditional stewardship of the land and water, once characterized by the intensive cultivation of taro lo'i. The local economy has evolved from these ancestral agricultural foundations into a contemporary balance of conservation and community-managed enterprise. Small-scale industry and restoration projects now occupy the spaces where sugarcane and pineapple once held sway, preserving the memory of earlier harvests. The labor of maintaining the pond and surrounding acreage reflects a profound kuleana, a shared responsibility that keeps the history of the region vital and present. This commitment to the land ensures that the economic pulse of Heeia remains tied to the health of its natural resources rather than rapid, impersonal expansion.

Heeia fosters a cultural character defined by the preservation of Polynesian voyaging history and the enduring influence of the eight main islands. The nearby island of Mokuʻoloʻe serves as a silent sentinel in the bay, while the challenging ascent of the Haiku Stairs draws those who seek a perspective from the high ridges. Those who visit or reside here often find themselves drawn to the sight of Waipuhia Falls, a seasonal marvel that appears as a silver thread against the dark, volcanic rock of the cliffs. While the area avoids the clamor of modern celebrity, it remains a place where the quietude allows for a genuine appreciation of the natural world. Daily life here is measured in the scent of plumeria on the breeze and the steady, unforced movement of people toward the water.

About This Heeia Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Heeia, Hawaii. Coordinates: 21.420222, -157.818885. 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 Heeia includes the ZIP code (96744), telephone area code (808), county seat of Honolulu County (Honolulu), 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.
