North Central West Virginia Airport Runway Diagram Print

North Central West Virginia Airport works a single asphalt runway, 3/21, at 7,800 by 150 feet, and that one line carries the whole print. It runs as a long diagonal across the frame, the 3 threshold low on the left and 21 high on the right, with a parallel taxiway shadowing it down the western side for most of its length and short connectors stitching the two together. The terminal apron and its building cluster sit against that taxiway near midfield, a second group of hangar blocks sits opposite on the east side, and one long taxiway reaches east from the upper third of the field toward a small outlying pad. Field elevation is 1,224 feet above sea level and magnetic variation is 8W, both set in the margin rather than on the drawing.

The field opened in 1935 as the Tri-County Airport, a joint effort of Harrison, Marion and Taylor counties, and it started as a grass airstrip on leased land. Marion and Taylor withdrew in 1937, Harrison County bought land to expand the field in 1938, and in 1944 it was renamed Benedum Airport after Michael L. Benedum. The lone diagonal on this print is a later arrival than that: through the 1950s the airport worked a runway 5 and a runway 16, and around 1964 both were replaced by a new runway 3 and a runway 13. Only the 3 alignment carries through to the layout drawn here, lengthened in 1999 and left as the field's one paved strip.

In 2007 the Department of Transportation selected Colgan Air to fly nineteen weekly round trips between Clarksburg and Pittsburgh under the Essential Air Service program. The airport sits a mile northeast of Bridgeport and six miles east of Clarksburg on 434 acres of Appalachian plateau, and it has carried three names in its life: Benedum Airport, Harrison-Marion Regional, and the one printed in the margin. Runway designators, lengths and widths follow the published figures, taxiways and apron edges are reduced to flat geometry over the ground tone you choose, and the result is original wall art composed from published airport information and available field depictions, made to order at a size that reads from across a room.

Clarksburg (CKB) print, common questions

How many runways does North Central West Virginia Airport have?

One. Runway 3/21 is 7,800 by 150 feet and paved in asphalt, which is why the print is built around a single long diagonal instead of a crossing pattern.

What is the longest runway at CKB, and how high is the field?

Runway 3/21 is the only runway and the longest at 7,800 feet. Field elevation is 1,224 feet above sea level, and that figure is printed in the lower margin.

What does CKB stand for and where is the airport?

CKB is the IATA code for North Central West Virginia Airport, located in Bridgeport, about six miles east of Clarksburg in Harrison County, West Virginia, at roughly 39.30 north, 80.23 west.

Why does the diagram show only one runway?

Because the field has only one. The airport had a runway 5 and a runway 16 in the 1950s, and around 1964 both gave way to a new runway 3 and a runway 13; the 3 alignment is the one that survived and grew, so it is the only paved strip on the print.

Is the diagram accurate to the real airport?

The runway designator, its length and width, the field elevation and the general run of taxiway and apron geometry come from published airport information for the field. It is original wall art, not a chart: fine details may be simplified or omitted, including minor taxiway markings, signage and small structures, and it is not for navigation.

What sizes can I get, and does this work as a gift?

Each print is made to order in several sizes and finishes, on a ground tone you pick at checkout. It reads well for anyone who learned to fly in north central West Virginia, worked the field at Bridgeport, or grew up watching that single diagonal from the plateau.
