The field itself

This is St. Joseph'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.

Rosecrans Memorial Airport Runway Diagram Print

Rosecrans Memorial Airport runs two concrete runways, and the print plots both to scale from the published runway data. Runway 17/35 carries the length at 8,061 feet by 150 feet, and the diagonal 13/31 measures 4,797 feet by 75 feet, about three fifths as long and half as wide, which gives the composition a clear main line and a lighter diagonal set off to one side. Field elevation is 827 feet, and the magnetic variation of 4E sits small in the corner the way a chart notes it.

The ground under all this is called French Bottoms, river bottom land settled from the 1830s and farmed for a century before it was razed in 1939 to build the airport. The name honors Sergeant Guy Wallace Rosecrans of the 153rd Aero Squadron, the only St. Joseph airman killed in the First World War, and the 1939 field was the third airport in town to carry it. It started as two three thousand foot runways with a hangar beside their intersection. The federal government took it over during the war and rebuilt it hard in 1942 and 1943: the diagonals were doubled in length and a new north south runway went in at 5,500 feet.

The river then rearranged the map. In the flood of 1951 the Missouri changed course and cut the airport off from its own city, and the road in comes through Elwood, Kansas, even though the field is in Missouri. Scheduled airlines faded out after that, Frontier leaving in 1969, three years before Kansas City International opened thirty miles to the south. In 1994 runway 13/31 was rebuilt as an assault landing strip for the Air National Guard and as a second visual runway for light aircraft. The drawing keeps to that layout rather than the flood history, composed from published airport information and available field depictions and set on a ground tone you choose, so it holds as a clean graphic mark from across a room.

St. Joseph (STJ) print, common questions

How many runways does Rosecrans Memorial Airport have?

Two, both concrete. Runway 17/35 and the diagonal 13/31, both drawn to scale in the print.

How long is the longest runway at STJ?

8,061 feet. That is runway 17/35, at 150 feet wide. The diagonal runway 13/31 measures 4,797 by 75 feet.

What is the field elevation at STJ?

827 feet above sea level, printed small in the corner of the diagram alongside the 4E magnetic variation.

Where is STJ, and why do you reach it through Kansas?

The airport is three miles northwest of St. Joseph, in Buchanan County, Missouri. The Missouri River changed course in the 1951 flood and cut the field off from its own city, so the road in comes through Elwood, Kansas.

How does the STJ print relate to the airport's layout?

Published airport information and available field depictions guide the STJ composition, including the runway designators and relative geometry. It is original wall art, so fine details may be simplified or omitted.
