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 Jacksonville'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.

Jacksonville NAS (Towers Field) Runway Diagram Print

Jacksonville NAS (Towers Field) gives this airport map print one dominant line: runway 10/28, 9,003 feet long and 200 feet wide, plotted as a solid black band straight across the middle of the sheet. The second runway, 14/32, is 5,978 feet long and the same 200 feet wide, and it reads very differently on the wall. It is drawn as a narrow open outline that slants down from the upper left and converges on the big runway at its 28 end, so the pair forms a long shallow wedge instead of a tidy crossing. Both surfaces are asphalt. The contrast between the filled band and the hairline diagonal is what carries the composition.

The field elevation is 23 feet, and the diagram reads like a low riverside site: everything spreads sideways. Below the main runway sits a wide pale mass of taxiways, ramps, loops and buildings that fills the lower half of the frame, with a hexagonal structure near the center and a dense run of hangars and blocks trailing down the right side. The base occupies ground between the St. Johns River and the Ortega River, a point historically called Black Point, and the artwork keeps that flatness honest by letting the apron sprawl rather than stacking detail.

The station was commissioned in 1940 and became the first part of the Jacksonville Navy complex, and the scale of the ramp in the drawing matches a field built for that kind of work. On a wall the print behaves like a piece of typographic geometry: one heavy horizontal, one thin diagonal, a large field of soft gray, and the NIP block set low right with the coordinates and elevation. It suits an office, a hallway or a pilot's study, and the weight of the composition holds up at larger sizes. Hang it alongside other North Florida fields, St Augustine or Fernandina Beach, and the set starts to map a region rather than a single runway.

Jacksonville (NIP) print, common questions

How many runways does Jacksonville NAS (Towers Field) have, and how do they sit in the print?

Two. Runway 10/28 runs across the sheet as a filled black band, and runway 14/32 appears as a thin diagonal outline dropping from the upper left to join it near the 28 end, so the two read as a shallow wedge rather than a crossing X.

How long is the longest runway at NIP?

Runway 10/28 is 9,003 feet long and 200 feet wide, asphalt. It is the longest of the two runways here, and it is the line that anchors the whole artwork.

Where is NIP, and how high is the field?

It is in Jacksonville, Florida, roughly eight miles south of the central business district, and the field elevation is 23 feet. The print carries the coordinates 30.2337 N, 81.6761 W under the identifier.

How accurate is the layout on this artwork?

The runways, taxiways and aprons are plotted from published airport information for the current charting cycle, so the proportions, orientations and published lengths follow that data. It is composed as wall art, so fine details may be simplified or omitted. Small pavement markings, signage and minor service roads are the usual examples.

What formats does this airport map print come in?

Fine Art Print, Framed Fine Art Print, Glossy Metal Print and Digital Download, in a range of sizes and in the colorway you choose. Physical pieces are made to order; the digital option is a file you download.

Does it work as a gift for someone connected to NAS Jacksonville?

Yes. Anyone who has flown, worked or trained on this field will recognize the long 10/28 band and the diagonal running in to meet it, and the identifier NIP does the rest without needing a caption.
