Fine Art Print: pigment giclée printing on heavyweight 330 gsm (17 mil), 100% cotton Hot Press paper, on regularly calibrated giclée printers. 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 Imperial'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.

Imperial County Airport Runway Diagram Print

Imperial County Airport reads as two black bars on a mostly empty field: runway 14/32 cuts the sheet on a long northwest to southeast diagonal, while 8/26 lies dead flat and horizontal, running far out to the west. The two never cross. The horizontal strip stops just short of the diagonal, tied into it by the pale taxiway network instead, and that near miss is what gives the composition its tension. All the built structure (aprons, hangar rows, ramp blocks) is packed into the right side, so the left two thirds of the print stays open paper.

The numbers behind those bars are modest and worth knowing. Runway 14/32 is 5,308 by 100 feet, the longer and wider of the pair. Runway 08/26 is 4,501 by 75 feet. Both are asphalt. The field itself sits below mean sea level, deep in the Imperial Valley, and the title block carries the published elevation along with the coordinates, so the oddity is on the wall rather than buried in a caption.

This is a county owned public use field, mostly general aviation, and it has a longer airline past than its size suggests. Scheduled flights began in 1943 with Western Airlines flying Douglas DC-3s. In 1964 the successor carrier was running nonstop propjet service to Los Angeles and San Diego, with a one stop routing to Phoenix by way of Yuma. Those schedules are gone, but the runway geometry that carried them is what the print draws.

As art, the appeal is the imbalance. A single steep diagonal, a single long horizontal, and a lot of quiet space around them: it hangs well in a hallway or above a desk, and it holds up at a distance in whichever colorway you choose.

Imperial (IPL) print, common questions

How many runways does IPL have?

Two. Runway 14/32 is 5,308 by 100 feet and runway 08/26 is 4,501 by 75 feet, both asphalt. On the print, 14/32 is the diagonal and 08/26 is the horizontal strip to the west.

What is the longest runway at Imperial County Airport?

Runway 14/32, at 5,308 feet long and 100 feet wide. It is the bar that runs corner to corner across the diagram.

Where is Imperial County Airport?

In Imperial, California, just south of the central business district, partly in the city and partly in unincorporated Imperial County. It also serves nearby communities including El Centro, and it sits below mean sea level.

What does IPL stand for?

IPL is the identifier for Imperial County Airport, also known as Boley Field. It is set large in the lower corner of the print, above the city, state and coordinates.

How accurate is the diagram?

It is plotted from published airport information, so runway designators, relative lengths, widths and angles follow the published layout. It is a piece of wall art rather than a navigation document, and fine details may be simplified or omitted. Approach lighting and pavement markings are examples of what gets left out.

Does this work as a gift?

Yes. It suits pilots who have flown into the Imperial Valley, anyone who trained here, or someone who just likes the shape of the place. Prints are made to order in a range of sizes and finishes, and the colorway you choose sets the mood.
