A. City of Honolulu, Territory of Hawaii, U.S.A. Compiled From The Latest Data by H.A.R. Austin…, by Hawaii Tourist Bureau, dated 1923 (26.8 x 14.0"). A detailed map of the city from Fort Shafter to Waikiki Beach showing the street grid pattern. A legend at lower left identifies street car lines, railroads, motels, and both existing and proposed roads. Points of interest are listed and keyed to the map at bottom. The verso contains related text and a second map of the whole island entitled Island of Oahu City and County of Honolulu (17.0 x 13.8") with red overprinting to identify the limited paved road network. Condition: Issued folding with several tiny splits at fold intersections.

B. Honolulu and Vicinity, by U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), dated 1958 (65.6 x 44.3"). A mammoth map covering the Honolulu area from Pearl Harbor east to Kaneohe Bay. Includes remarkable topographical detail as well as drainage, road types, schools, subdivisions, municipal features, and much more. During the 1950’s the USGS published a series of “Metropolitan Area Maps” printed in five colors on a scale of 1 inch per 2000 feet. The map series included the latest survey data for 58 metropolitan areas with exceptional detail. The maps provide a snapshot of post-war American cities before most entered a period of accelerated growth. Condition: On a clean sheet with some light extraneous creasing in the image. There is an old library stamp and a bit of toning both confined to the bottom blank margin. Due to the size of the map, each half was scanned separately and the image was digitally merged. The map is one full sheet (not two separate sheets), and the images of each individual half are included as they are higher resolution than the digitally merged image.
