About This File
FS2004 Scenery--Matheson Point (CWMP) in Nunavut, Canada. This was a DEW line I Station on the southeast shore of King William Island; the island is around 70 miles square and Gjoa Haven is also on the southeast corner, 20 miles to the south. The station was closed in 1963 and has now been totally dismantled and removed except for a fallen 300 feet communications tower. The runway is still there (mostly) and is around 3360 feet of gravel 120' wide, aligned 146T/326T. There are no lights, signage, or windsock, or any building. Few of these DEW line stations are particularly impressive or even interesting. This one takes top prize in that department, but the runway is still there and usable if necessary. By Roger Wensley.
