This detailed map presents the street-grid pattern of the city and was issued during World War II. It names many points of interest including Waikiki Beach, Honolulu Harbor, Diamond Head, and several forts. Bold overprinting shows the "convoy routes thru Honolulu" including two-way traffic, emergency routes, and alternate routes. Added to the legend in manuscript are "off limit" areas, which were subsequently added to the printed 1945 version. No dealer or auction records found, and there are only two institutional listings per OCLC.
