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 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.
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.

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.
