How to Use This Waihee-Waiehu, Hawaii Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Waihee-Waiehu, 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 Waihee-Waiehu.

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 Waihee-Waiehu, Hawaii

Waihee-Waiehu is a locality in Maui County, Hawaii, United States. It has a population of approximately 9,234. The population density is 836.1 people per km².

Waihee-Waiehu unfolds across a landscape defined by the persistent, cooling presence of the Waiehu Stream as it carves its path toward the sea. It lies 2.0 miles north of Wailuku, HI (from Wailuku, HI: bearing 350°T), and is situated 3.3 miles northwest of Kahului. Kope Gulch marks the immediate terrain, providing a natural basin where the earth seems to hold the shadows of the morning a little longer than elsewhere. Beyond this immediate topography, the massive silhouette of Haleakala rises on the distant horizon, anchoring the sky in a permanent, volcanic embrace. The Pacific Ocean remains a constant, rhythmic neighbor just one mile away, its salt-heavy air tempering the heat of the day. To the west, the Waihou Spring Forest Reserve offers a dense, emerald contrast to the open slopes, while Hulu Island rests quietly offshore as a sentinel in the blue expanse.

Waihee-Waiehu carries the echoes of a deep, agricultural heritage that once saw the land transformed by the rhythmic labor of sugarcane and pineapple cultivation. These fields have slowly yielded to a quieter, modern economy that values the stewardship of the soil and the preservation of traditional taro lo'i. The State Department of Land State Resource Management Area serves as a vital anchor for this land-use philosophy, ensuring that the wilder edges of the region remain protected for future generations. Mill Reservoir sits as a quiet, functional testament to the old ways of managing water, its surface often mirroring the shifting clouds that drift in from the coast. Residents here navigate a life that balances the memory of industrial toil with a renewed focus on the kuleana, or responsibility, of maintaining the health of their immediate environment.

Waihee-Waiehu possesses a cultural character shaped by the long, storied traditions of Polynesian voyaging and the distinct identity of the islands. The pace of life is dictated not by the clock, but by the trade winds that rustle the plumeria and carry the scent of the nearby coast through the residential streets. While the area is not defined by the presence of global celebrities, it remains home to individuals who carry deep knowledge of the local genealogy and the ecological rhythms of the gulch. The community gathers in ways that celebrate this continuity, often finding common ground at local landmarks that honor the ancestral connections to the land. As the sun sets, the light catches the gray tones of the volcanic rock, highlighting the rugged, enduring beauty that defines the spirit of those who reside here.

About This Waihee-Waiehu Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Waihee-Waiehu, Hawaii. Coordinates: 20.9188, -156.5063. 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 Waihee-Waiehu includes the ZIP code (96793), telephone area code (808), county seat of Maui County (Wailuku), 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.
