Explore Seaview, 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 Seaview, 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 Seaview.
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.

Seaview emerges from a landscape of raw, basaltic earth where the air holds a permanent, briny weight pulled inland from the distant expanse of Pohoiki Bay. It lies 13.3 miles south-southeast of Hawaiian Paradise Park, HI (from Hawaiian Paradise Park, HI: bearing 165°T), and is situated 9.2 miles south-southeast of Ainaloa. The terrain is defined by the jagged architecture of cooled lava flows, a dark and porous foundation that gives way to the dense, humid canopy of the nearby Keauohana Forest Reserve. Rising three miles to the west, the slopes of Puu Kepaka anchor the horizon, their profiles softened by the low-slung, persistent clouds that drift from the ocean to cling to the high ground. In the quiet hours of the late afternoon, the light here loses its harshness, casting a long, violet shadow across the uneven ground and turning the volcanic rock to a dull, metallic sheen that seems to pulse with the slow cooling of the land.
Life in Seaview exists within the borders of the State Department of Land State Resource Management Area, a designation that preserves the rugged solitude of the coastline and the integrity of the wild brush. The economy remains tethered to the slow, deliberate pace of land stewardship, far removed from the frantic commerce of the islands' more developed centers. While distant memories of sugarcane and pineapple plantations linger in the way the land was cleared and parceled long ago, the current reality is one of quiet cultivation and the heavy, sweet scent of plumeria carried on the trade winds. Those who seek more strenuous excursions often travel toward the Puna Forest Hunters Trail, but for most, the rhythm of the day is dictated by the tides and the patient observation of a landscape that refuses to be hurried.

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.
