How to Use This Maalaea, Hawaii Map

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

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 Maalaea, Hawaii

Maalaea is a locality in Maui County, Hawaii, United States. It is a small community with a population of 310. The population density is 23.2 people per km². Maalaea is located at 20.8022°N, 156.4887°W. It observes the Hawaii Standard Time — no DST (Pacific/Honolulu) timezone. ZIP code: 96793.

Maalaea sits upon the edge of a vast, sweeping crescent where the dry, sun-baked earth meets the rhythmic push of the Pacific Ocean. It lies 5.2 miles northwest of Kihei, HI (from Kihei, HI: bearing 315°T), and is situated 6.6 miles south-southwest of Kahului. The landscape here is defined by the stark contrast between the arid lowlands and the distant, imposing silhouette of Haleakala rising to the east. A few miles inland, the terrain breaks into the rocky contours of Malalowaiaole Gulch, while the nearby waters of Keālia Pond offer a quiet sanctuary for migratory birds amidst the salt-crusted air. The wind, constant and persistent, carries the scent of brine across the flat, volcanic terrain, ensuring that the light at midday remains sharp and uncompromising against the gray-blue surface of the harbor.

Maalaea serves as a functional maritime gateway, its harbor acting as the primary artery for a local economy rooted in commercial shipping and recreational excursions. Historically, the surrounding plains were shaped by the reach of agriculture, though the modern rhythm of the place is dictated by the tides and the seasonal movement of humpback whales through the channel. Visitors often traverse the State Department of Land State Resource Management Area, which provides a protected corridor along the coast, while the nearby Waikapū Stream serves as a reminder of the island’s hydrological patterns. Though the quiet island of Kalaepohaku sits offshore as a sentinel in the distance, the daily life of Maalaea remains focused on the harbor, where the salt spray and the shifting currents dictate the pace of those who work the water.

About This Maalaea Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Maalaea, Hawaii. Coordinates: 20.802244, -156.488659. 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 Maalaea includes the ZIP code (96793), telephone area code (808), county seat of Maui County (Wailuku), 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.
