Davison Ranch Airport

As a private airfield, the closure was not due to a single public event. The most probable reason is the cessation of aviation activities by the ranch's owner. This could be due to the owner no longer flying, a change in land ownership, the sale of aircraft, or the determination that the airstrip was no longer economically viable or necessary for the ranch's operations. The gradual decline visible in satellite imagery supports a phase-out rather than an abrupt closure.

The site of the former airport has been fully reclaimed for agricultural use. Current satellite imagery shows the faint outline of the former north-south runway, but the land is actively being farmed. There are no remaining aviation facilities such as hangars, wind indicators, or runway markings. The land is part of the surrounding fields.

Davison Ranch Airport held local significance as a private agricultural and general aviation airstrip. It is a typical example of thousands of private airfields that supported farming and ranching operations across the United States in the mid-to-late 20th century. Its operations would have included flights for personal and business travel by the owners, as well as agricultural aviation such as crop dusting, seeding, and land survey. The airport featured a single turf runway (17/35) approximately 2,600 feet long, suitable for light single-engine aircraft commonly used in agriculture and general aviation.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the Davison Ranch Airport. The land has been repurposed for agriculture, and re-establishing an airfield would require significant investment and a renewed need from the current landowner. It is considered permanently closed.
