Explore Maunaloa, 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 Maunaloa, 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 Maunaloa.
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.

Maunaloa occupies a high, breezy plateau where the persistent trade winds scrub the air clean, carrying the faint, salt-tinged promise of the Pacific Ocean three miles to the west. It lies 38.8 miles east-southeast of Kailua, HI (from Kailua, HI: bearing 119°T), and is situated 12.8 miles west-northwest of Kaunakakai. The landscape here is defined by weathered volcanic earth and the quiet solitude of the State Department of Land State Resource Management Area, which envelops the perimeter in a protective embrace. To the north, the terrain dips toward the deep, shadowed creases of Kamakahi Gulch, while the horizon remains wide and uncluttered, save for the distant, hazy silhouettes of other islands. At dusk, the quality of light transforms the rugged ground into a palette of deep ochre and violet, casting long, lean shadows that stretch across the open fields toward the distant, unseen waters.
Maunaloa carries the quiet weight of a transitionary era, having shifted from the bustling, structured life of a plantation settlement into a more contemplative, post-industrial stillness. The memory of vast pineapple fields lingers in the red dust that clings to the tracks of the old roads, a testament to the cycles of labor that once organized the daily rhythm of every household here. While the economic focus has evolved far from those expansive agricultural harvests, the people maintain a deep sense of kuleana, tending to the land with a patient, watchful eye. Life moves with an internal cadence that pays little mind to the frantic pace of the outside world, favoring instead the slow, deliberate work of maintaining the quiet beauty of this high-altitude refuge.

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.
