This incredible three-dimensional map of Oahu brilliantly transcribes the islands’ dramatic geography into a tactile, easily understood overview. The striking peak of Mt. Kaala, the steep spine of the Koolau Range, and even the distinctive outline of Diamond Head are all immediately apparent. Settlement patterns (highlighted in yellow) become more apparent, as the primary towns (including Honolulu) and villages lie along the coast and in the central valley. Transportation routes, airfields, and primary geographic features are noted according to the accompanying legend. Extensive military facilities across the island include the Schofield Barracks, Hickam Air Force Base, Barber’s Point Naval Air Station, the Lualualei Naval Ammunition Depot, and Pearl Harbor.
