With total land area of 596.7 square miles (1,545.4 km2), Oahu is not the largest island in Hawaii, but rather the third largest. However, it does have the largest population out of any of the islands at 953,207, and is the seat of the state capital Honolulu.
The island resulted from the overlapping of two shield post-eruption, with a broad valley in between them. The island is also known by locals as "The Gathering Place". One of the famous features of the island is Diamond Head, a volcanic tuff cone.
These first two maps of Oahu are obviously older ones that were scanned from physical atlases.
Up above did you find a useful map of Oahu? Hawaii is a great place to travel so I hope you enjoy your visit!
