Explore Kahului, Hawaii, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Kahului, 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 Kahului.
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.

Kahului spreads across a flat, windswept plain where the salt-heavy air of the Pacific Ocean constantly brushes against the low-lying terrain. It lies 1.8 miles east-southeast of Wailuku, HI (from Wailuku, HI: bearing 106°T), and is situated 9.9 miles north of Kihei. The horizon is dominated by the massive profile of Haleakala, which looms eighteen miles away, casting a long, cooling shadow as the sun begins its descent. To the north, the landscape is punctuated by the quiet waters of Kanahā Pond, a sanctuary for native birds that thrive in the brackish stillness. Beyond the immediate reach of the streets, the rugged, carved earth of Kalialinui Gulch marks the transition toward the higher elevations of the interior. Nearby, the distant silhouette of Hulu Island sits suspended in the hazy blue, a silent sentinel watching over the coastal expanse.
Kahului carries the weight of a working history, having transitioned from the expansive reach of plantation-era agriculture into a central hub for commerce and logistical transit. The legacy of sugarcane and pineapple production still lingers in the spirit of the local economy, though modern industry now favors the bustling harbor and the regional airport that serve as the primary gateways for the island. Daily life revolves around the steady movement of goods and people, driven by the practical needs of a population that values kuleana and hard work. The presence of the Kahului Community Center Park provides a necessary anchor for the local rhythm, offering a space where the community gathers away from the industrial hum. As the trade winds sweep through the streets, the memory of older agricultural cycles remains etched into the very soil that supports the current infrastructure.
Cultural character in Kahului is defined by a diverse confluence of traditions, reflecting the deep Polynesian roots that inform the identity of every resident. Notable landmarks like the nearby ʻĪao Stream serve as reminders of the natural heritage that exists just outside the modern grid, providing a refreshing contrast to the urbanized center. The town honors its heritage through local events that celebrate the arts and the distinct experiences of those who call the island home. While the pace of life remains distinctly practical, the local atmosphere is softened by the persistent scent of plumeria carried on the breeze. Even as the modern world flows through the transportation corridors, there remains a profound, quiet respect for the land and the ancestral connections that define the people of Kahului.

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.
