New Brigden West Airport

The closure was almost certainly due to private economic and practical reasons. Such airstrips are typically maintained by landowners for personal or agricultural use. The closure would have occurred when the owner no longer operated an aircraft, sold the land, or decided the cost and effort of maintaining the runway were no longer justified. The land was subsequently repurposed for full agricultural use.

The site has been fully reclaimed as agricultural land. Satellite imagery of the coordinates reveals the faint but visible outline of a former north-south grass runway in the middle of a cultivated field. The land is actively farmed, and no airport infrastructure, such as buildings, hangars, or markings, remains.

New Brigden West Airport was a small, private turf airstrip. Its significance was entirely local, serving the needs of the farm or ranch on which it was situated. Operations would have consisted of light, single-engine general aviation aircraft used for personal transportation and potentially agricultural aviation (e.g., crop surveying or spraying). It held no significance as a commercial, public, or military facility.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the airport. Given that the land has been converted back to agricultural use and the original purpose for the strip no longer exists, reopening is considered extremely unlikely.
