The field itself

This is Chicago/Rockford'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.

Chicago/Rockford International Airport Runway Diagram Print

Chicago Rockford International Airport works two runways that meet near the northeast corner of the field, and the print is built on that crossing. Runway 07/25 is the long one, 10,002 by 150 feet, drawn as a diagonal spine that runs from the bottom left of the sheet up to the right. Runway 01/19 is 8,200 by 150 feet and stands close to upright beside it, cutting the diagonal a short way in from the 25 threshold, so the two make a lopsided X with a very long tail. Field elevation is 742 feet and magnetic variation is 3W.

Everything else piles into the wedge on the northwest side of the long runway. Apron edges, hangar blocks and a chain of taxiway loops crowd the upper half of the diagonal, while the lower half runs out clean across open ground with nothing beside it. The drawing ends up weighted to the top of the frame with a lot of quiet at the bottom left, which follows the airport's published layout rather than any attempt to balance the page.

The ground under the runways was Camp Grant, established by the Army in 1917 as one of the largest military training facilities in the country. It closed at the end of 1923, was reactivated in 1941, and spent World War II as an induction and training center and a prisoner of war confinement site before shutting for good in 1946. Illinois passed its Airport Authority Act that same year, the Greater Rockford Airport Authority was formed, and in 1948 the Camp Grant land was transferred to it. Construction of the airport and terminal began in 1954, and the last Camp Grant buildings on airport property were demolished in 1974.

The field carried the Greater Rockford name for decades and became Chicago/Rockford International in 2004, the year it turned into a port of entry. It has pulled crowds too: the Experimental Aircraft Association moved its annual fly-in here from Timmerman Field in Milwaukee in 1959, and Rockford held it through 1969. As of 2026 the airport is a cargo field first, with a UPS Airlines hub and Amazon Air service alongside Allegiant Air on the passenger side, and it handled over 310,000 passengers in 2025. On the sheet none of that shows except as pavement: runway designators, lengths and widths follow the published figures, taxiways and apron edges are reduced to flat geometry, and the coordinates and elevation sit under the code in the margin. It is original wall art composed from published airport information and available field depictions, printed to order over the ground tone you choose.

Chicago/Rockford (RFD) print, common questions

How many runways does Chicago Rockford International Airport have?

Two. Runway 07/25 is 10,002 by 150 feet and runway 01/19 is 8,200 by 150 feet. They cross toward the northeast end of the field, and the print is composed around that crossing.

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

Runway 07/25 at 10,002 feet is the longest. Field elevation is 742 feet above sea level, and that figure is set in the margin under the code.

Where is RFD and what does the code stand for?

RFD is the code for Chicago Rockford International Airport, in Rockford, Illinois, about 68 miles northwest of Chicago at roughly 42.20 north, 89.10 west. The airport was built on the grounds of the former Camp Grant.

Is the print accurate to the real airport layout?

Runway designators, lengths, widths and the geometry between the two runways 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 are available, and does this work as a gift?

Several sizes and finishes, all made to order, on a ground tone you pick at checkout. It reads well for anyone who works the freight ramps at Rockford, has family who passed through Camp Grant, or grew up going to the airshows here.
