How to Use This Princeville, Hawaii Map

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

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 Princeville, Hawaii

Princeville is a locality in Kauai County, Hawaii, United States. It has a population of approximately 2,157. The population density is 320.2 people per km². Princeville is located at 22.2176°N, 159.4789°W. It observes the Hawaii Standard Time — no DST (Pacific/Honolulu) timezone. ZIP code: 96722.

Princeville occupies a high, verdant plateau that overlooks the deep incision of the Hanalei River as it carves its way toward the Pacific Ocean. It lies 13.0 miles northwest of Kapaa, HI (from Kapaa, HI: bearing 311°T), and is situated 4.6 miles west of Kilauea. Trade winds move across the grass with a visible, shuddering weight, carrying the scent of salt and the heavy, humid perfume of plumeria that blooms in the gardens of Emmalani Park. Below the cliffs, the landscape drops away into the Hanalei Valley, where the light at dusk turns the taro lo'i into a shimmering mosaic of bronze and emerald. To the south, the sharp, jagged silhouette of Kamookoa Ridge anchors the horizon, while the distant, mist-shrouded peaks of the Haleleʻa Forest Reserve remind any observer of the island’s ancient, volcanic architecture.

Princeville reflects a history that shifted from the quiet labor of cattle ranching and sugar to a modern rhythm defined by its proximity to the wilder, northern reaches of the island. The local economy now draws its pulse from those who come to witness the raw geography of the coast, yet the older memory of the land persists in the dark, volcanic soil and the quietude of the morning. Beyond the immediate plateau, one might venture toward Kīlauea Falls or find a solitary path along the Hanakāpīʻai Falls Trail, though the true character of the place remains in the stillness of the afternoon, when the tide pulls against the shore of the Pacific Ocean and the shadows stretch long across the golf greens. Far out, the small, solitary shape of Mokuʻaeʻae sits against the current, a silent sentinel that has watched the slow transformation of the plains for generations.

About This Princeville Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Princeville, Hawaii. Coordinates: 22.217582, -159.478885. 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 Princeville includes the ZIP code (96722), telephone area code (808), county seat of Kauai County (Līhuʻe), 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.
