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 Fort Polk'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.

Maks AAF Runway Diagram Print
Maks AAF is a one runway field: 16/34, asphalt, 4,107 feet long and 100 feet wide, sitting at 330 feet of elevation at Fort Polk, Louisiana. That single strip is the whole composition, and it is why this print reads so cleanly from across a room.
In the artwork the runway runs as one long diagonal, upper left to lower right, with the 16 numbers at the top and 34 at the bottom. Everything else gathers on one side of it. A broad apron fills the lower right quadrant, two taxiways branch off the runway and meet it in a shallow Y, and a row of buildings steps down the outer edge of the ramp in a darker tone. A smaller paved area sits off on its own near the 16 end, up in the empty top left corner. The rest of the sheet is left open, so the line has room to breathe.
Geometrically this is a quiet piece: one stroke, one cluster of structure, a lot of negative space. It hangs well on its own and it pairs naturally with other Louisiana fields, so if you are building a wall around this part of the state, the sprawling multi runway layout at Alexandria or the coastal plan at Lake Charles make good companions. Coordinates, elevation and the POE identifier are set in the lower corner, and the magnetic variation of 2E is the small offset between the runway's painted numbers and grid north. Sizes and finishes are chosen at checkout, and each physical piece is made to order in the colorway you choose.
Fort Polk (POE) print, common questions
How many runways does Maks AAF have?
One. Runway 16/34 is the only runway at the field, and it is the single dark line you see crossing the print on the diagonal.
How long is the runway at POE?
4,107 feet long and 100 feet wide, with an asphalt surface. Those proportions are what give the print its long, thin stroke rather than a chunky bar.
Where is Maks AAF, and what is its elevation?
It is at Fort Polk in western Louisiana, near 31.0448 degrees north and 93.1916 degrees west, at 330 feet of elevation. The coordinates and elevation are printed in the lower corner of the artwork.
What does POE mean?
POE is the three letter identifier for this field in published airport information, and it is the code set in large type at the bottom of the print. The runway label 16/34 refers to the approximate magnetic headings of the two runway ends, about 160 and 340 degrees.
How accurate is the layout?
The runway, taxiways, apron and structures are plotted from published airport data, so the shapes and their relationships to each other follow the published layout. It is a piece of artwork rather than a navigation chart, and fine details may be simplified or omitted. Markings, lighting and signage are examples of what gets left out.
Does this work as a gift?
Yes, particularly for anyone with a connection to Fort Polk or to this airfield. It is offered as a Fine Art Print, a Framed Fine Art Print, a Glossy Metal Print or a Digital Download, so you can match a framed piece to an existing wall or send the file if you need it quickly.
