Made like something you keep.

The field itself

This is Sturgis'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.

Kirsch Municipal Airport Runway Diagram Print

Kirsch Municipal draws as two runways that cross. The long one runs almost straight up the sheet, numbered 1 at the lower end and 19 at the top, and it measures 5201 feet by 100 feet. The second, 06/24, comes in on a diagonal at 3601 feet by 75 feet, and the two meet low on the tall strip rather than at its middle. Both are asphalt in the published data, so the print treats them as one weight of dark pavement.

That off center crossing is what makes the composition work. Because the intersection sits well below halfway, the vertical runway carries a long uninterrupted stretch above it, and the diagonal cuts away to the upper right with nothing to compete against. Light gray taxiways loop back at both ends of the main runway and gather into an apron on the right side, where hangars and small buildings read as a dense cluster of rectangles. Two runways, a handful of connecting lines, and a lot of open paper: the drawing stays legible from across a room.

The identifier IRS sets the lower right corner in heavy type, with Sturgis, Michigan, the coordinates and ELEV 925 FT stacked underneath in small caps. The layout is plotted from published airport information and the label block is the only text on the sheet. The Kalamazoo print can hang beside this one. Sizes run from desk scale up to large wall pieces, and the same drawing is offered as a fine art print, framed, on glossy metal, or as a digital download file.

Sturgis (IRS) print, common questions

How many runways does Kirsch Municipal have, and how long are they?

Two. Runway 01/19 is 5201 feet long and 100 feet wide, and runway 06/24 is 3601 feet long and 75 feet wide. Both are listed as asphalt, and both appear in the print.

What is the elevation shown on the IRS print?

925 feet. It is printed as ELEV 925 FT in the caption block under the identifier, alongside the coordinates 41.8133 N and 85.4390 W.

What does IRS mean on this artwork?

IRS is the identifier for Kirsch Municipal, and it is the large type in the lower right corner. The smaller line beneath it names the airport's city and state.

How accurate is the runway layout in the print?

The runway pair, their crossing angle and their relative lengths follow published runway data, so 01/19 reads long and 06/24 reads shorter and set on a diagonal. This is a designed diagram rather than a chart, and fine details may be simplified or omitted. Markings, lighting and signage fall into that category.

Which formats does this airport map print come in?

Four. There is a Fine Art Print, a Framed Fine Art Print and a Glossy Metal Print, plus a Digital Download for anyone who wants the file. Physical formats are produced once you order; the digital option is delivered as a file.

Does it work as a gift?

It does, especially for someone with a specific tie to Kirsch Municipal. The runway figures and the 925 foot elevation are on the sheet, so the piece carries the detail of the field without needing a caption from you. Pick the size first, then the colorway you choose.
