The paper is acid-free and archival-grade, with a smooth matte surface and the high color gamut and black density that let a dark ground and fine linework keep their depth. Supplied unframed, with no added white margin, ready for your own frame.

Dimensions

Fine Art Print: 8 x 10, 16 x 20, and 24 x 30 inches.

Made like something you keep.

The field itself

This is Hobbs's own layout, the way its runways run and the taxiways thread between them, composed into a print you will want to look at every day. Not a stock template with a new name on it.

Museum-quality cotton paper

Heavyweight 330 gsm, 100% cotton Hot Press paper, acid-free and archival-grade. Its high color gamut and black density give the runways real depth, and pigment inks keep the fine detail crisp on a smooth matte surface.

Solid wood framing or glossy metal

Frame it in 1.25 inch solid wood, black, white or natural oak, with the white beveled mat, optical-grade clear acrylic and hanging wire included. Or choose glossy metal: dye sublimation into aluminum, floated about 3/4 inch off the wall on a hidden mount.

Lea County Regional Airport Runway Diagram Print

Lea County Regional Airport works three runways, and this print draws each of them to scale from published field information. Runway 04/22 is the long one at 8,000 feet by 150 feet, with 13/31 at 6,002 feet by 150 feet and 17/35 at 4,370 feet by 100 feet. Three strips at three different lengths and two different widths give the drawing more to work with than a typical small field: by their designators 04/22 and 13/31 stand about 90 degrees apart, with 17/35 lying 40 degrees off 13/31, so the three fan across the sheet at genuinely different angles. Field elevation is 3,661 feet, high ground for a runway diagram, and the magnetic variation of 7E sits small in the corner.

The airport is four miles west of Hobbs, in Lea County, New Mexico, and it covers 898 acres. Flying here starts with Me-Tex Airport, opened on July 23, 1937 on ground next door that is now the Hobbs golf course, where the Me-Tex Supply Company had leased state land and laid oiled runways and a hangar. Hobbs passed a bond issue in 1940 to buy adjoining acreage and go after airline service and airmail, and the paved municipal field that came out of it opened during the Second World War. The city handed ownership to Lea County on November 19, 1945, and Me-Tex closed the year after. It is still the largest of the three airports the county runs, alongside general aviation fields at Lovington and Jal.

Airmail reached Hobbs in May 1940 on Continental Airlines, which began carrying passengers that year to Albuquerque, El Paso, San Antonio and Tulsa on multi-stop runs, and through the 1950s the field worked as a crossroads where you could change planes between Continental's Albuquerque to San Antonio line and its El Paso to Tulsa line. Mesa Airlines then held the city for more than 22 years from 1984. The two busiest routes out of HOB in 2024 and 2025 ran to Houston Intercontinental and to Denver, over the twelve months from May 2024 through April 2025. None of that shows on the sheet. What does is the ground plan: three runways at their published length and width, their designators, and the open ground between them, composed from published airport information and available field depictions onto a ground tone you choose.
