Description
A runway diagram map print of Sitka Rocky Gutierrez Airport (SIT), made from the airport's own layout for the place it holds in your life. Choose your colorway and your format: a fine art giclée print on cotton paper, a framed fine art print, a glossy metal print or a digital download.
Your fine art print is made to order with pigment inks on heavyweight, 100% cotton Hot Press paper, a 330 gsm sheet with a high color gamut and deep black density. The acid-free, archival-grade paper has a smooth matte surface. Supplied unframed, ready for your own frame.
Shipping and Returns
Physical prints are made to order in 2 to 3 business days; shipping time is added on top and varies by your location and the method you choose. Standard shipping is free across the US.

Digital downloads are delivered by email, so there is nothing to ship.
The Digital Download is a JPEG at 300 dpi, sized for 24 by 30 inches. The digital add-on matches the selected physical print size at 300 dpi. Download links arrive by email and stay active for 30 days; save the file within that time and keep it for personal, non-commercial use. No physical item is shipped.

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 Sitka'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.

Sitka Rocky Gutierrez Airport Runway Diagram Print
Sitka Rocky Gutierrez Airport works a single runway, so the print is built around one line. Runway 11/29 measures 7,200 by 150 feet, and it crosses the sheet as one long diagonal bar, the threshold marked 11 at the northwest end and 29 at the southeast. Field elevation is 27 feet above sea level, and magnetic variation is 20E, so the plotted heading sits well off true north. The only other mass in the composition is the apron: terminal, taxiway and hangar geometry gathered on the northeast side of the runway near the 11 end, with a couple of small pads touching the pavement edge farther southeast and the rest of the sheet left open.
The field is state owned and public use, west of the central business district of Sitka, and the single paved runway sits on a causeway that juts off Japonski Island. The airport is named after Rocky Gutierrez, a former mayor of Sitka. There is a quieter piece of history under the ground as well: deceased tuberculosis patients from the nearby Mount Edgecumbe hospital were buried on airport land and had to be relocated during construction, and that section of the airport carries the unofficial name The Mausoleum.
Jet service here goes back a long way. In 1967 Alaska Airlines was operating Boeing 727-100 service into the airport on a round trip routing of Seattle, Sitka, Anchorage, Unalakleet, Nome and Kotzebue, alongside Convair 240 propliner flights nonstop to Juneau. The setting asks something of the pilots who use it: ocean waves wash onto the runway during storms, the exposed position makes for high winds, and large flocks of birds live very close to the field.
As art, the layout is given room. Runway designators, lengths and widths follow the published figures, and taxiways and apron edges are reduced to flat geometry over the ground tone you choose. A one runway field leaves a lot of open space around the linework, and that emptiness is part of why this one reads well at a distance: a single stroke set at an angle, with the built-up end weighted to one corner. This is original wall art composed from published airport information and available field depictions rather than a navigation document, printed to order.
Sitka (SIT) print, common questions
How many runways does Sitka Rocky Gutierrez Airport have?
One. Runway 11/29 is asphalt and measures 7,200 by 150 feet, and it carries the whole print as a single diagonal running northwest to southeast.
How long is the runway at SIT, and how high is the field?
The runway is 7,200 feet long and 150 feet wide. Field elevation is 27 feet above sea level, which is set in the margin of the print along with the coordinates.
What does SIT stand for and where is the airport?
SIT is the IATA code for Sitka Rocky Gutierrez Airport, west of the central business district of Sitka in southeast Alaska, on a causeway off Japonski Island, at roughly 57.05 north, 135.36 west. The airport is named after Rocky Gutierrez, a former mayor of Sitka.
Why does the print have so much empty space?
Because the field really is one runway and one apron. Rather than crowd the frame, the diagonal is left to sit against open ground, which is closer to how the place feels from the air than a busy sheet would be.
Is the diagram accurate to the real airport?
The runway designator, length, width and elevation come from published airport information for the field, and the apron and taxiway shapes follow the airport's published layout. 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 flown the Southeast Alaska run, worked on Japonski Island, or watched that approach come in over the water.
