Honolulu as seen from
the International Space Station |
|
| The Honolulu District is located on the southeast
coast of O?ahu between Makapu?u and Halawa. The District boundary
follows the Ko?olau crestline, so Makapu?u Beach is in the Ko?olaupoko
District. On the west, the district boundary follows Halawa
Stream, then crosses Red Hill and runs just west of Aliamanu
Crater, so that Aloha Stadium, Pearl Harbor, and Hickam Air
Force Base are actually all in the ?Ewa District.
|
| Most of the city's commercial and industrial developments
are located on a narrow but relatively flat coastal plain, while
numerous ridges and valleys located inland of the coastal plain
divide Honolulu's residential areas into distinct neighborhoods:
some spread along valley floors (like Manoa in Manoa Valley)
and others climbing the interfluvial ridges. Within Honolulu
proper can be found a number of volcanic cones: Punchbowl, Diamond
Head, Koko Head (includes Hanauma Bay), Koko Crater, Salt Lake,
and Aliamanu are most conspicuous.
|
| Honolulu and Juneau, Alaska are the only two US
state capitals that cannot be reached by road from the rest
of the country, or from the majority of the land area of their
respective states.
