How to Use This Mountain View, Hawaii Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Mountain View, 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 Mountain View.
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 Mountain View, Hawaii
Mountain View is a locality in Hawaii County, Hawaii, United States. It has a population of approximately 4,215. The population density is 29.6 people per km². Mountain View is located at 19.5372°N, 155.1876°W. It observes the Hawaii Standard Time — no DST (Pacific/Honolulu) timezone. ZIP code: 96771.Mountain View occupies a high-elevation expanse defined by damp, cooling mists and a rugged topography of volcanic earth. It lies 9.0 miles west-southwest of Hawaiian Paradise Park, HI (from Hawaiian Paradise Park, HI: bearing 252°T), and is situated 7.5 miles west-northwest of Ainaloa. The landscape here is defined by the State Department of Land State Resource Management Area, which envelopes the surroundings in a dense, quiet verdancy that stretches toward the distant, jagged silhouette of Mauna Kea on the horizon. Moisture clings to the broad leaves of endemic flora, while the soil, dark and rich with the memory of ancient flows, drains into the hidden, moss-slicked beds of nearby waterways like Waiākea Stream. The air carries a heavy, floral sweetness that seems to settle in the lungs, lending the atmosphere a stillness that persists even as the clouds cycle rapidly over the ridgelines.
Mountain View evolved from the quiet industry of the plantation era, leaving behind a legacy of agricultural labor that transformed into the diverse, small-scale farming plots seen today. The local economy relies on the persistence of these independent growers who cultivate the land with a deep sense of kuleana, tending to their crops amidst the shadows of the Waiākea Forest Reserve. Residents often traverse the Puna Forest Hunters Trail, a passage that speaks to the enduring connection between the people and the wilderness that surrounds them. Daily life in Mountain View moves with the deliberate pace of the weather, where the shifting light through the canopy marks the hours more reliably than any clock, grounding the spirit in a place that remains stubbornly, beautifully inland.

About This Mountain View Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Mountain View, Hawaii. Coordinates: 19.537213, -155.187553. 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 Mountain View includes the ZIP code (96771), 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.
