Explore Kalaheo, 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 Kalaheo, 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 Kalaheo.
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.

Kalaheo rises from the verdant, rolling uplands of the island, a place where the persistent trade winds carry the scent of salt from the Pacific Ocean just three miles away. It lies 17.5 miles southwest of Kapaa, HI (from Kapaa, HI: bearing 228°T), and is situated 9.1 miles west-southwest of Puhi. The terrain here is defined by the steady descent toward the shore, interrupted by the gentle carve of Wahiawa Stream as it carves its path through the volcanic earth. To the west, the rugged silhouette of Papuaa Ridge looms against the sky, while the deep, shadowed creases of Kōʻula Valley draw the eye toward the horizon. Near the center of the landscape, the quiet surface of Elua Reservoir mirrors the shifting clouds, providing a still counterpoint to the distant, rhythmic pulse of the tides. When the afternoon light catches the mist rising from the hidden Waiolue Falls, the air takes on a heavy, golden quality that seems to suspend the very motion of the trees.
Kalaheo carries a weight of history that lingers in the soil, echoing the transition from the expansive, sun-drenched fields that once defined the local economy to the smaller, diverse enterprises of the present day. The land is managed with a careful hand under the stewardship of the State Department of Land State Resource Management Area, ensuring that the legacy of the environment is preserved for those who walk the path of their ancestors. Life here moves with the deliberate pace of a place that understands its kuleana, where the distant, jagged form of Kalanipuao Rock serves as a silent guardian over the shifting waters. Even as modern life brushes against these hills, the spirit of the region remains tied to the cycles of the earth and the memory of the labor that once defined these slopes. Travelers passing through the region might catch a glimpse of the Olokele Trail, a reminder of the long, winding connections that bind the people to the deep, volcanic heart of the island.

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.
