Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 27, 2025
Closure Date

Sometime between 1980 and 1994. The airstrip was still depicted on aeronautical charts in 1980, but a 1994 USGS aerial photograph shows the runway area had been converted to farmland.

Reason for Closure

The closure was most likely for economic and land-use reasons. As a private strip supporting agricultural operations, the owner, the Stevinson Corporation, likely determined that cultivating the land occupied by the runway was more economically viable than maintaining the airstrip. There is no evidence of closure due to a specific accident or for military purposes.

Current Status

The site of the former airport has been completely reclaimed for agricultural use. Satellite imagery of the coordinates shows active, cultivated farmland with no visible remnants or traces of the former runway or any aviation facilities.

Historical Significance

Stevinson Strip was a private airfield primarily used for agricultural aviation (crop dusting). It was likely established in the late 1940s and served the extensive farming operations in California's Central Valley. The airport featured a single, unpaved 2,000-foot runway. It represents a common type of private, utilitarian airstrip that was vital for the region's agricultural industry in the mid-20th century. The identifier US-11146 is a non-standard code used by third-party databases for closed airfields; it likely never had an official FAA or ICAO identifier.

Reopening Prospects

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Stevinson Strip. The land is privately owned and is now valuable, productive farmland. A return to aviation use is considered extremely unlikely.
