Hawaii: shape, counties and terrain

Hawaii spans about 1,487 miles from east to west and 656 miles from north to south, with 6,423 square miles of land. Its outline is irregular: the state fills only 8% of the box drawn around it on the map. The Census boundary file draws it as 27 separate land areas, 6 of them larger than 100 square miles.

Hawaii has 5 counties. The largest by land area is Hawaii County (4,028 sq mi) and the smallest is Kalawao County (12 sq mi). The capital, Urban Honolulu, sits at 19 ft downtown (USGS).

Elevation runs from sea level along the Pacific Ocean to 13,796 ft (4,205 m) at Pu'u Wēkiu, Mauna Kea in Hawaii County, a range of 13,796 ft. The sampled average is about 2,928 ft.

On the relief map's elevation grid, under 1% of the state lies below 0 ft, 78% between 0 and 5,000 ft and 19% between 5,000 and 10,000 ft and 3% above 10,000 ft. Split from south to north into thirds, the southern third averages 4,080 ft, the central third 1,798 ft and the northern third 895 ft, so the land is highest in the southern third and lowest in the northern third.

How teachers and students can use these maps

  • Blank map: label Urban Honolulu, the capital, and the largest cities, then check them against the cities map. Older students can draw in rivers or mountain ranges from an atlas.
  • County map: find your own county among the 5. The labeled version works as an answer key; the blank one as a quiz.
  • Cities map: Urban Honolulu to Hawaiian Paradise Park is about 221 miles in a straight line. Measure it with the scale bar and see how close you get.
  • Elevation map: find Pu'u Wēkiu, Mauna Kea (13,796 ft) and the coast, at sea level, and work out the difference: 13,796 ft. Then use the legend to estimate the elevation of your town and check it with our elevation tool.
  • Printing: each map has a US Letter PDF and an A4 PDF. The PDFs are vector files, so lines and labels stay sharp at any size. The outline maps use very little ink in black and white.
