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 Marquette'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.

Marquette/Sawyer Regional Airport Runway Diagram Print
Marquette Sawyer Regional Airport has one runway, and the print is that runway: 01/19, 9,072 by 150 feet, drawn as a single dark bar that runs almost the full height of the sheet with a slight lean to the left as it goes north. Field elevation is 1,205 feet and magnetic variation is 4W. Everything else in the drawing hangs off the east side of that line, a full length parallel taxiway with connectors at intervals, then a stack of aprons, a long hangar row and clusters of small blocks down the lower half of the field. North of the 19 threshold the pavement carries on as lighter geometry, so the strip does not simply stop at the number.
That one heavy vertical against a lot of empty ground is the whole composition, and it is a fair reflection of what the field is. The runway was built in 1959 to handle B-52 bombers and KC-135 tankers, which is why a single strip in northern Michigan is long and wide enough to take an aircraft the size of a Boeing 747-8. The pavement is the surviving piece of K. I. Sawyer Air Force Base, which closed in September 1995; the civil airport opened for passenger service in 1999 on part of that ground and replaced the old Marquette County Airport, which closed the same year.
The field sits near Gwinn, about 17 nautical miles south of Marquette, on 2,100 acres in Marquette County. It was called Sawyer International Airport until the county board renamed it Marquette Sawyer Regional Airport as part of a rebranding effort begun in 2022. As of 2026 its scheduled flights run to Detroit, Minneapolis and Chicago O'Hare. On the sheet, runway designators, lengths and widths follow the published figures and the taxiways and apron edges are reduced to flat geometry over the ground tone you choose. It is original wall art composed from published airport information and available field depictions, made to order, and printed at a size where a single runway carries a wall better than a busy field would.
Marquette (SAW) print, common questions
How many runways does Marquette Sawyer Regional Airport have?
One. Runway 01/19 is 9,072 by 150 feet, asphalt and concrete, and it takes up nearly the whole height of the print.
Why is a single runway airport in northern Michigan that long?
The runway was built in 1959 for B-52 bombers and KC-135 tankers at K. I. Sawyer Air Force Base. At 9,072 feet by 150 feet it can take aircraft as large as a Boeing 747-8 or a 777-200. Field elevation is 1,205 feet above sea level.
Where is SAW and what does the code stand for?
SAW is the identifier for Marquette Sawyer Regional Airport, near Gwinn in Marquette County, Michigan, about 17 nautical miles south of the city of Marquette, at roughly 46.35 north, 87.40 west. The airport also carries the separate ticketing code MQT.
What was here before the airport?
K. I. Sawyer Air Force Base, which closed in September 1995. The county airport opened for passenger service on part of that ground in 1999, taking over from the former Marquette County Airport.
Is the diagram accurate to the real airport?
The runway designator, length, width and the taxiway and apron geometry follow 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 select at checkout. It suits anyone who served at K. I. Sawyer, flies out of Marquette County, or grew up next to the base at Gwinn.
