Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 25, 2025
Closure Date

The exact date is not officially recorded, as is common for small private airstrips. Based on analysis of historical satellite imagery, the runway was still visible and clear in 2015 but had a large agricultural building constructed on it by 2018. Therefore, the airport was permanently closed sometime between 2015 and 2018.

Reason for Closure

The closure was due to a change in land use. The airport was a small, private turf runway on agricultural land. The property owner repurposed the land for farming, evidenced by the construction of a large, modern barn directly on the former runway's path. This is a common reason for the closure of small, privately-owned airfields.

Current Status

The site has been fully converted to agricultural use and is part of a working farm. The former turf runway is no longer distinguishable from the surrounding fields, and a large agricultural building sits where the runway used to be. There are no remaining signs of active aviation infrastructure.

Historical Significance

Atwood Airport (sometimes referred to as Rowe Field) had no major historical significance in a commercial or military sense. It was a private, unregistered aerodrome serving general aviation. Its operations would have consisted of recreational flying by the owner and possibly other local pilots using small, single-engine aircraft (like Cessnas or Pipers). It did not support commercial traffic, scheduled flights, or large-scale operations.

Reopening Prospects

There are no plans or prospects for reopening the airport. The land is privately owned and actively used for agriculture. The presence of a permanent, large structure on the former runway makes its restoration as an airfield physically and economically unfeasible. The prospect of it ever reopening as an airport is effectively zero.
