Materials
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.
Framed Fine Art Print: the same cotton fine art paper in a 1.25 inch solid wood frame. A white, acid-free, 4-ply mat with a 45-degree bevel and optical-grade, shatter-resistant clear acrylic (safer to ship than glass) are included. The print is mounted to foam core for a flat presentation, with a kraft paper dust cover and installed hanging wire on the back.
Glossy Metal Print: the image is transferred by dye sublimation into polymer-coated aluminum with a glossy white base. The 1.14 mm panel has a scratch- and water-resistant surface, with a hidden inset mount that positions it about 3/4 inch off the wall. Display indoors, away from direct sunlight.
Digital Download: a high-resolution JPEG for personal, non-commercial use. No physical paper, frame, or metal panel is included.
Dimensions
Fine Art Print: 8 x 10, 16 x 20, and 24 x 30 inches.
Framed Fine Art Print: 8 x 10, 16 x 20, and 24 x 30 inches, measured across the mat and acrylic area inside the frame. The mat sits within that area, so the visible image is about 6 x 8, 12 x 16, or 18 x 24 inches. The outside frame is larger than the listed size.
Glossy Metal Print: 8 x 10, 16 x 20, and 24 x 30 inches. During sublimation, 1/8 to 1/4 inch of the artwork may be cropped, so the printed edge can differ slightly from the preview.
Digital Download: a 7200 x 9000 pixel JPEG at 300 dpi for 24 x 30 inch printing. A digital add-on instead matches the selected physical size: 8 x 10, 16 x 20, or 24 x 30 inches at 300 dpi.
Made like something you keep.
The field itself
This is Auburn/Lewiston'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.

Auburn/Lewiston Municipal Airport Runway Diagram Print
Auburn/Lewiston Municipal is a two runway field, and the print draws it as an X. Runway 04/22, the long one at 5,001 by 100 feet, climbs from the bottom of the sheet toward the upper right. Runway 17/35, 2,750 by 75 feet, cuts the opposite way and crosses it just above center. Both are asphalt. The field elevation of 288 feet sits in the caption block under the LEW lettering, next to the coordinates.
The crossing is what carries the composition. Because neither runway is vertical, the whole X leans, and the intersection lands high and slightly right of the middle instead of dead center. Everything else stays quiet: taxiways, apron and hangar rows render in soft gray down the western side of the diagram, with a second cluster of buildings out near the 35 end. Two black strips, one gray field, a lot of paper left alone. The airport covers 565 acres, and the drawing keeps that sense of open ground.
The airfield opened in 1935, five miles southwest of the cities of Auburn and Lewiston, which jointly own and operate it. In 1943 the Navy commissioned the site as Naval Auxiliary Air Facility Lewiston, flying anti-submarine patrols and training torpedo bomber pilots until operations ceased in 1945. The airport has not seen commercial air service since 1989, which is part of why the layout reads so cleanly: no terminal sprawl, just two runways and the pavement that feeds them. It hangs well next to other New England fields, whether that is Portland down the Androscoggin or Augusta up the interstate.
Runway geometry, crossing angle and field orientation follow published airport information for the current charting cycle, and the drawing is composed for a wall rather than for navigation. Physical formats are made to order (Fine Art Print, Framed Fine Art Print and Glossy Metal Print), and a Digital Download is available as a file. The colorway you choose changes the mood more than the geometry: the X holds either way.
Auburn/Lewiston (LEW) print, common questions
How many runways does LEW have, and how long are they?
Two. Runway 04/22 is 5,001 by 100 feet and runway 17/35 is 2,750 by 75 feet, both asphalt. Both appear on the print, crossing above the center of the diagram, with their designators set at the ends.
Where is Auburn/Lewiston Municipal Airport?
In Androscoggin County, Maine, five miles southwest of the cities of Auburn and Lewiston, which jointly own and operate it. The field elevation is 288 feet, printed with the coordinates beneath the identifier.
What does LEW mean on the print?
LEW is the identifier for Auburn/Lewiston Municipal, and it is the large type at the lower right of the artwork. Under it sit the city and state line, the coordinates and the elevation, so the piece reads as this airport and no other.
How accurate is the diagram to the published layout?
The runway designators, relative lengths and crossing angle of 04/22 and 17/35 are drawn from published runway data for the current charting cycle. It is styled for a wall, so fine details may be simplified or omitted. Pavement markings, lighting, signage and small ground features are the usual examples.
What formats and sizes can I get this airport map print in?
Fine Art Print, Framed Fine Art Print and Glossy Metal Print, each made to order in a range of sizes, plus a Digital Download if you want the file. Because the LEW layout is a tall lean X, the vertical proportion holds up at every size.
Is this a good gift for a pilot who flies out of Auburn/Lewiston?
Yes, particularly for anyone who has worked runway 04 to 22 on a long final or used the short 17/35 in a crosswind. The diagram is specific enough that a local pilot recognizes the field at a glance, including the apron and hangar rows on the west side.
