Approximately between 2007 and 2011. Analysis of historical satellite imagery shows a well-maintained airstrip in the mid-2000s, with signs of significant decay and vegetation overgrowth beginning around 2009 and the runway becoming completely unusable by 2012. There is no exact official date of closure recorded in public databases.
Abandonment, most likely due to economic factors or a change in ownership/use of the associated property. The gradual deterioration of the airstrip over several years, as seen in satellite photos, points to a cessation of maintenance and use rather than a singular event like an accident or official mandate. It was likely a private field whose operational costs were no longer justified by its owner.
The site is completely abandoned and derelict. The former runway is still visible from the air but is entirely overgrown with scrub and grass, making it unusable for any aviation purposes. A small hangar structure located to the northeast of the runway remains standing but appears to be in a state of disrepair. The land has effectively reverted to natural rangeland.
The San Miguel Airstrip (Aeródromo San Miguel) was a small, private airfield. Its primary function was to serve the needs of the local agricultural and ranching community, likely associated with the nearby 'Rancho San Miguel'. Operations would have included general aviation for private transportation and possibly agricultural aviation, such as crop dusting. It was not a public airport and did not handle commercial passenger or cargo traffic, limiting its historical significance to local, private use.
There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the San Miguel Airstrip. Due to its remote location, advanced state of decay, and its original purpose as a private-use field with no apparent public demand, the likelihood of it being restored for aviation use is extremely low.
