The exact closure date is unknown as the airport was likely a private, unregistered field. Analysis of historical satellite imagery shows the airstrip was already unmaintained and overgrown by the mid-1990s, suggesting it fell into disuse sometime before 1996.
While not officially documented, the closure was almost certainly due to economic or personal reasons related to its function as a private agricultural strip. Common reasons for such closures include the sale of the farm/ranch, a change in farming methods that no longer required aerial support (like crop dusting), or the owner ceasing to operate aircraft. There is no evidence of military conversion, regulatory action, or a major accident leading to the closure.
The site is currently private agricultural land. The faint, cross-shaped outlines of the two former turf runways are still visible from satellite imagery, but the land has been fully reclaimed for farming or grazing. There is no remaining airport infrastructure, such as hangars, lighting, or buildings. The area is not usable as an airfield and is not publicly accessible.
The airport held no major historical significance on a national or state level. It was a private-use agricultural airstrip, likely serving the specific ranch or farm on which it was located. Operations would have been minimal, consisting of light, single-engine aircraft used for personal transportation for the landowner and for agricultural tasks such as crop dusting, seeding, or surveying livestock and land.
There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Morgan Airport. Given its remote location, complete lack of infrastructure, and its reversion to private farmland, a reopening is extremely unlikely. Any future aviation use at this location would require the construction of a new private airstrip from scratch.
