American Samoa
This page is the City map of American Samoa, showing streets, paths and places across the territory in the Pacific Ocean. American Samoa is an unincorporated territory of the United States, covers around 199.0 square kilometres and lies at an elevation recorded here as 765 metres above sea level. Its population was about 49,710 in 2020, down from 55,636 in 2010. Founded in 1899, the territory is divided into six mapped subregions: Nuʻuuli, Rose Atoll, Manuʻa District, Western District, Eastern District and Swains Island.
Nuʻuuli
Nuʻuuli is a village and an administrative level 8 area on the island of Tutuila in American Samoa. The settlement has a recorded population of 6,345 and an area of approximately 7.87 square kilometres. Nuʻuuli lies on the south-western coast of Tutuila, near Pago Pago International Airport and the coastal road connecting villages in the western part of the island.
The village is located between steep volcanic slopes and the Pacific coastline, a characteristic setting of Tutuila. Roads in Nuʻuuli connect residential areas with nearby places such as Tafuna and Futiga, while the map records the settlement separately from the larger Western District.
To the mapRose Atoll
Rose Atoll is an administrative level 6 subregion in the eastern Pacific Ocean and forms part of the remote islands of American Samoa. The atoll consists of a small coral reef system with two main sandy islets, Rose Island and Sand Island, surrounding a shallow lagoon. It is uninhabited and has no urban street network comparable to the settlements on Tutuila.
Rose Atoll is protected as part of the Rose Atoll Marine National Monument and lies within the National Marine Sanctuary of American Samoa. The atoll is known for its low coral islands, reef habitat and marine environment rather than for permanent towns or roads.
To the mapManuʻa District
Manuʻa District is an administrative level 6 subregion in eastern American Samoa, approximately 100 kilometres east of Tutuila. It includes the volcanic islands of Ofu, Olosega and Taʻu, with villages such as Ofu, Olosega and Taʻu located along narrow coastal plains. The islands are separated from Tutuila by open ocean and are connected locally by roads, small airfields and maritime transport routes.
Taʻu contains Mount Lata, the highest mountain in American Samoa, while Ofu and Olosega are known for steep volcanic ridges and the sandy shoreline of Ofu Beach. The Manuʻa Islands are also associated with the National Park of American Samoa, whose protected areas include coastal and mountainous environments on Taʻu, Ofu and Olosega.
To the mapWestern District
Western District is an administrative level 6 area covering the western part of Tutuila, the largest island of American Samoa. It includes settlements such as Tafuna, Futiga, Leone, ʻAmanave and Fagaliʻi, as well as roads leading toward the western tip of the island. Tafuna is the largest urban and commercial area in American Samoa and is situated near Pago Pago International Airport.
The district contains coastal villages, volcanic hills and sections of the island’s main road network. Leone, on the south-west coast, is one of Tutuila’s established villages, while ʻAmanave and nearby coastal settlements lie closer to the rugged western end of the island.
To the mapEastern District
Eastern District is an administrative level 6 subregion on the eastern part of Tutuila. It includes Pago Pago, the territorial capital, together with villages such as Fagatogo, Utulei, Aua, Lauliʻi and Saipan. Pago Pago Harbor extends into the island’s steep volcanic interior and is surrounded by mountains and densely settled coastal areas.
Fagatogo contains the executive and legislative institutions of American Samoa, while Utulei is a major administrative and commercial area beside Pago Pago Harbor. The district also includes access to the National Park of American Samoa on Tutuila, where forested slopes and coastal areas occur near villages including Vatia.
To the mapSwains Island
Swains Island is an administrative level 6 subregion and an isolated island of American Samoa in the Pacific Ocean. It is a raised coral atoll with a central lagoon enclosed by a narrow ring of land, and it lies far north of Tutuila. The island has no public road network or large town comparable to Pago Pago or Tafuna.
Swains Island is privately owned and has historically supported a small settlement connected with coconut production. Its remote position, circular reef structure and central lagoon distinguish it from the volcanic islands of Tutuila and the Manuʻa group.
