The airport was closed sometime between 1986 and 1993. It was last depicted as an active airfield on the 1986 Green Bay Sectional Chart but was no longer shown on the 1993 edition of the same chart.
The specific reason for closure is not officially documented. As a small, privately owned airfield (listed owner E. Neveln), the closure was most likely due to personal reasons such as the owner's retirement from flying, death, or the sale of the property for other land use. There is no evidence to suggest it was closed due to a specific accident, military conversion, or broader economic factors.
The site of the former Neveln Field is now private agricultural land. Satellite imagery of the coordinates (45.325199, -88.137299) clearly shows the faint but still distinguishable outline of the former north-south runway. The area is overgrown with grass and appears to be used as a hayfield or pasture, fully integrated into the surrounding farmland. The associated farm buildings are located to the southeast of the former runway area.
Neveln Field was a small, private general aviation airport that served the Crivitz, Wisconsin area from approximately the late 1960s or early 1970s until its closure. Its primary function was to support recreational flying and personal transportation for its owner and potentially other local pilots. According to the 1982 AOPA Airport Directory, it featured a single 2,400-foot unpaved turf runway aligned north-south (Runway 18/36). Operations would have been limited to light, single-engine aircraft typical of private grass strips.
There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Neveln Field. The property has been reverted to private agricultural use for over three decades, and the airfield is considered permanently closed.
