Made like something you keep.

The field itself

This is Somerville'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.

Somerset Airport Runway Diagram Print

Somerset (SMQ) draws as three runways crossing in a single tight cluster, set left of center in the frame. Runway 12/30 is the long one at 2,739 feet by 65 feet, an asphalt strip inked solid and dark as it runs from upper left down to lower right. Turf runway 08/26 measures 1,923 feet by 100 feet and rises the other way, lower left to upper right. Turf runway 17/35, 1,700 feet by 150 feet, drops almost straight down the sheet. All three meet within a few strip widths of one another, so the eye lands on the crossing before it reads anything else.

The two turf strips carry a soft dotted fill, which sets them apart from the solid black pavement of 12/30 without shouting. Their widths do the rest of the work: at 100 feet and 150 feet they are visibly broader than the 65 foot paved runway, so the dark line reads as the narrow, decisive stroke through a pair of wide pale bands. Field elevation is 106 feet and the published magnetic variation is 13W. To the right of the crossing sits the grey mass of ramp, taxi paving and building shapes, the only dense area on an otherwise open sheet.

As artwork the appeal is the geometry: a three way intersection with no two strips agreeing on a heading, floating in a lot of quiet ground. Runway numbers 12, 30, 8, 26, 17 and 35 sit at the strip ends in small type, and the SMQ block anchors the lower right with the city line, coordinates and elevation under it. It is a small field and the drawing stays small, which is why it hangs well in a hallway, an office or a stairwell where a busier plan would fight the wall. The Morristown print can hang beside this one.

Somerville (SMQ) print, common questions

How many runways does SMQ have, and how long are they?

Three. Runway 12/30 is 2,739 feet long and 65 feet wide with an asphalt surface. Runway 08/26 is 1,923 feet by 100 feet of turf, and runway 17/35 is 1,700 feet by 150 feet of turf. All three appear in the print.

What is the elevation at Somerset?

106 feet. That figure is printed under the coordinate line at the lower right of the artwork, alongside the SMQ identifier.

What does SMQ mean, and where is the airport?

SMQ is the identifier for Somerset, listed at Somerville, New Jersey, at 40.625981 N, 74.670032 W. The three letter code is the largest element on the sheet.

What sizes and finishes is this available in?

Sizes run small to large, and the SMQ drawing holds up at either end because the three way crossing stays legible when it shrinks. Formats include the Fine Art Print, the Framed Fine Art Print, the Glossy Metal Print and a Digital Download. The physical formats are made to order, while the digital option is a file you receive.

How accurate is the runway layout in this print?

The drawing follows published runway data for Somerset: 12/30 at 2,739 feet, 08/26 at 1,923 feet and 17/35 at 1,700 feet, each strip held at its published angle and relative width. It is a graphic reading of the field rather than a chart, so fine details may be simplified or omitted. Surface striping, edge lights and airfield signs all sit below the level this drawing works at.

Does this work as a gift?

Yes, particularly for someone with a personal tie to SMQ, whether they trained there, based an aircraft there or simply know the field. The three runway crossing is specific enough that it reads as that airport and not a generic diagram, and the colorway you choose can be matched to the room it is going into.
