How to Use This Omao, Hawaii Map

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

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 Omao, Hawaii

Omao is a locality in Kauai County, Hawaii, United States. It has a population of approximately 1,346. The population density is 409.9 people per km². Omao is located at 21.9366°N, 159.4857°W. It observes the Hawaii Standard Time — no DST (Pacific/Honolulu) timezone. ZIP code: 96756.

Omao defines itself through the steady, rhythmic pulse of the ‘Ōma‘o Stream as it carves a path through the verdant, sloping terrain. It lies 15.5 miles southwest of Kapaa, HI (from Kapaa, HI: bearing 220°T), and is situated 8.1 miles west-southwest of Lihue. The air here holds a consistent, humid weight, carrying the faint, sweet scent of plumeria that seems to cling to the low-hanging clouds gathering near the distant Ka Lae o Kahonu. Within the quiet boundaries of the State Department of Land State Resource Management Area, the earth remains dark and fertile, reflecting a deep, volcanic origin that predates the modern dwellings scattered across the hillsides. During the late afternoon, the light softens into a pale gold, illuminating the still surface of Omao Reservoir and casting long, sharp shadows that reach toward the horizon, where the expansive blue of the Pacific Ocean waits just three miles away.

History in Omao lingers in the memory of the soil, where the legacy of sugarcane and pineapple agriculture once dictated the pace of every season. Though the industrial scale of those years has faded, the local economy now favors a slower, more deliberate existence, moving away from the monoculture of the past toward a quiet stewardship of the land. Residents maintain a subtle kuleana, a shared responsibility for the health of the watershed and the preservation of the open, green spaces that define the landscape. Life here is measured not by the clock, but by the movement of the clouds and the occasional flash of spray from the distant Waiolue Falls, standing as a reminder of the rugged, untamed character inherent to this island environment.
