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.

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 Minden'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.

Minden-Tahoe Airport Runway Diagram Print

Minden-Tahoe Airport works two paved runways, and this print draws both to scale from published field information. Runway 16/34 is the long asphalt strip at 7,399 feet by 100 feet, and 12/30 is asphalt as well at 5,299 feet by 75 feet. The field also has a glider runway, 12G/30G, 2,050 feet by 60 feet surfaced in dirt, which the print does not draw. The field sits at 4,724 feet of elevation, high desert ground, with the magnetic variation of 15E noted small in the corner the way a chart carries it.

The airport is about five miles north of Minden, in Douglas County, and it serves the Carson Valley towns of Minden, Gardnerville and Genoa, with Lake Tahoe over the mountains to the west. Douglas County owns it, and it houses the Sierra Front Interagency Dispatch Center and a regional firefighting air tanker base. In the year ending May 2023 the field logged 90,920 aircraft operations, 96 percent of that general aviation, and of the 272 aircraft based here, 94 were gliders. That ratio is the story of the place, a valley field where most of the based fleet flies without an engine. The print keeps to the geometry: the two paved runway designators, the relative proportions taken from published airport information and available field depictions, and the open ground around them, set on a tone you choose.

7,399 feet. That is runway 16/34, 100 feet wide. Runway 12/30 measures 5,299 feet by 75 feet, and the glider runway 12G/30G, which the print does not draw, measures 2,050 feet by 60 feet.

Where is MEV, and how high is the field?

MEV is the code for Minden-Tahoe Airport, about five miles north of Minden in Douglas County, Nevada, serving the Carson Valley. Field elevation is 4,724 feet above sea level, printed small in the corner alongside the 15E magnetic variation.

How does the MEV print relate to the airport's layout?

Published airport information and available field depictions guide the MEV composition, including the runway designators and relative geometry. It is original wall art, so fine details may be simplified or omitted.
