How to Use This Kaloko, Hawaii Map

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

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 Kaloko, Hawaii

Kaloko is a locality in Hawaii County, Hawaii, United States. It has a population of approximately 1,314. The population density is 37.6 people per km². Kaloko is located at 19.7284°N, 155.9537°W. It observes the Hawaii Standard Time — no DST (Pacific/Honolulu) timezone. ZIP code: 96740.

Kaloko defines the rugged transition where the slopes of the island begin their long, deliberate descent toward the Pacific Ocean. It lies 57.0 miles west of Hilo, HI (from Hilo, HI: bearing 269°T), and is situated 9.5 miles north of Kahaluu-Keauhou. The landscape is dominated by the stark, porous texture of volcanic rock, a black and jagged expanse that creates a profound silence, broken only by the persistent sigh of trade winds moving through the brush. At this elevation, the air retains a crisp clarity, sharpening the silhouette of Mauna Loa on the distant horizon, while the Honua'ula Foest Reserve stretches across the immediate terrain, offering a dense, verdant contrast to the sun-scorched earth. Hikers often find their way toward the Huehue Hualalai Trail, where the path reveals the ancient, cooling lava flows that shaped the physical character of this land.

Kaloko maintains a quiet, deliberate pace, anchored by a deep sense of kuleana that honors the intersection of ancestral stewardship and modern life. While the economy once relied on the rhythms of plantation agriculture, the present day finds a focus on conservation and the preservation of natural resources, including the nearby Waiʻaha Springs Forest Reserve. The memory of taro lo'i and the labor of those who navigated these waters remains present in the local consciousness, even as the community looks toward the preservation of sites like the Kaloko Fishpond. Life here is measured by the quality of the light as it fades over the Pacific Ocean, casting long, violet shadows across the Waiʻaha Stream drainage, reminding those who live and work here of the enduring, elemental nature of the landscape.

About This Kaloko Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Kaloko, Hawaii. Coordinates: 19.72839, -155.953737. 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 Kaloko includes the ZIP code (96740), telephone area code (808), county seat of Hawaii County (Hilo), 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.
