Williams Ranch Airport

The specific reason for closure is not publicly documented. As a private airfield associated with a ranch, the closure was most likely due to private circumstances, such as the owner ceasing aviation activities, the sale of the property, or the high cost of maintenance. There is no evidence to suggest it was closed due to a specific accident, military conversion, or regulatory action.

The airport is permanently closed and no longer exists in a functional state. Recent satellite imagery shows the land has completely reverted to a pasture or hay field. The faint outline of the former runway is barely visible, and the area is now used for agricultural purposes as part of the surrounding private ranch land. There are no remaining aviation facilities like hangars or markings.

Williams Ranch Airport was a small, private airstrip. Its significance was primarily local, serving the owners of the Williams Ranch. It was not a public-use airport and did not handle commercial or scheduled operations. First identified on USGS maps in the mid-1990s, it featured a single unpaved turf runway, approximately 2,600 feet in length, oriented roughly NNE/SSW. Operations would have been limited to light, single-engine general aviation aircraft used for personal transportation or ranch business.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the Williams Ranch Airport. Given that it was a private strip that has been defunct for over a decade and the land has been reclaimed for agriculture, a reopening is considered extremely unlikely.
