Explore Pepeekeo, 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 Pepeekeo, 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 Pepeekeo.
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.

Pepeekeo emerges from the verdant, rain-washed cliffs where the Waimaauou Stream carves a steep, restless path toward the Pacific Ocean. It lies 7.7 miles north of Hilo, HI (from Hilo, HI: bearing 351°T), and is situated 18.6 miles north-northwest of Hawaiian Paradise Park. The land here holds the heavy, humid weight of the tropics, where the air tastes of salt spray and the crushed, sweet scent of ginger blooming in the shadows. High above the eastern horizon, the distant, silent bulk of Mauna Kea looms in the thinning light, its peak often lost to the drifting trade winds. The landscape is defined by the State Department of Land State Resource Management Area, which acts as a protective mantle over the rugged terrain, ensuring that the wild, untamed character of the slopes remains undisturbed by the slow creep of modernity.
Pepeekeo carries the quiet, lingering echo of the great sugarcane era, a time when the rhythmic clatter of the mills defined the pulse of the island’s economy. Where fields once stretched in endless, golden-green rows, the earth now settles into a different pace, marked by the resilience of small-scale agriculture and the kuleana of those who tend the land. The proximity to the moisture-laden heights ensures a perpetual cycle of growth, feeding the dense greenery that conceals the remnants of the old plantation tracks. Life here moves with the tide of the Pacific Ocean, a persistent, rhythmic reminder of the vast distance between the shore and the rest of the world, leaving the traveler to find solace in the simple, enduring gravity of the place.

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.
