The field itself

This is Montrose'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

Montrose Regional Airport Runway Diagram Print

Montrose Regional Airport works two runways that never meet. Runway 17/35 is 10,000 by 150 feet and runs almost straight north and south, one clean vertical line down the middle of the sheet. Runway 13/31 is 7,510 by 100 feet, narrower pavement on a northwest to southeast heading, and it passes below the 35 threshold without touching it, so the two strips read as an open angle rather than a cross. Field elevation is 5,759 feet above sea level and magnetic variation is 12E, which is why the plotted headings sit noticeably off north. The airport is non-towered and covers 966 acres on the northwest side of Montrose, in southwestern Colorado.

The long runway is the newer of the two. Runway 17/35 was built during the 1990s; before that the field's main strip was designated 12/30. Monarch Airlines began flying to Montrose in the 1940s, and its successor Frontier flew Convair 580s between Montrose and Denver before bringing the field its first jets, Boeing 737-200s, in 1982. An enlarged Montrose Regional was dedicated on June 25, 1988, with Chuck Yeager cutting the ribbon. The terminal that came with it was designed by local architect Patrik Davis around a two sided fireplace, a tile floor patterned with the Ute pictogram for travel, and a high skylighted ceiling of knotty pine.

As art, the field rewards a long look at the grey. A parallel taxiway shadows 17/35 for its whole length with connector stubs at regular intervals, while a comb of small hangars lines the southwest side of 13/31 in a run of little rectangles that gives the lower half of the print its texture. Runway designators, lengths and widths follow the published figures, and taxiways, apron edges and building footprints are reduced to flat geometry over the ground tone you choose. Telluride Ski Resort is about an hour and a half away by road, which is a fair amount of the reason people know this field at all. This is original wall art composed from published airport information and available field depictions rather than a navigation document, printed to order at a size that reads from across a room and still rewards standing close.

Montrose (MTJ) print, common questions

How many runways does Montrose Regional Airport have?

Two. Runway 17/35 is 10,000 by 150 feet and runway 13/31 is 7,510 by 100 feet. They do not intersect: 13/31 runs past the south end of 17/35 and the two are joined by taxiway instead.

What is the longest runway at MTJ, and how high is the field?

Runway 17/35 at 10,000 feet, built during the 1990s. Field elevation is 5,759 feet above sea level, and that figure is set in the margin of the print.

What does MTJ stand for and where is the airport?

MTJ is the IATA code for Montrose Regional Airport, a non-towered public field on the northwest side of Montrose in southwestern Colorado, covering 966 acres at roughly 38.51 north, 107.89 west.

Why is the shorter runway drawn narrower?

Because it is. Runway 13/31 is 100 feet wide against 150 feet for 17/35, and the print keeps that difference, which is part of why the two strips read as distinct rather than as a matched pair.

Is the diagram accurate to the real airport?

The runway designators, lengths, widths and the angle between the two strips come from published airport information for the field. It is original wall art, not a chart: fine details may be simplified or omitted, including minor taxiway markings, signage and small structures, and it is not for navigation.

What sizes can I get, and does this work as a gift?

Each print is made to order in several sizes and finishes, on a ground tone you pick at checkout. It suits anyone who has landed at 5,759 feet on a January morning, keeps a hangar on the field, or drives the San Juans every winter.
