Hawaii and the South Pacific
Travel, Scenery, History, Folklore

Complete line of detailed topographic maps of every island.

A traveller's best starting point for maps of Hawaii. All populated islands are covered at a scale of 1:84,000 with a city map of Central Honolulu at 1:33,000. Given its wide coverage, this atlas should be your first map purchase for Hawaii. It's main drawback is its poor rendition of unpaved roads. (There is no clear distinction between hiking trails, two track roads and maintained dirt roads.) With this book as a guide, you can then order more detailed USGS maps for places you plan to explore.
