Sarver Field

The specific reason is not officially documented, but evidence strongly suggests it was a private decision by the owner. As a privately-owned airfield, its closure was likely due to economic factors, the owner's retirement or death, or the desire to repurpose the land for agriculture. The conversion of the land to farming indicates the closure was not due to a military takeover or a major accident.

The site of the former Sarver Field has been completely converted to agricultural land. Satellite imagery of the coordinates shows the area is now a cultivated farm field. While the faint outline of the former north-south runway is still discernible from the air as a slight variation in the soil or crop growth, no airport infrastructure, such as hangars, windsocks, or markings, remains. The land is now functionally indistinguishable from the surrounding farmland.

Sarver Field was a small, private-use general aviation airport with local, rather than national, significance. Its primary role was to serve its owner, listed in records as Robert Sarver, and potentially other local pilots. It appeared on aeronautical charts starting around 1970. When active, it featured a single turf runway (designated 18/36) measuring approximately 2,600 feet long by 100 feet wide. Operations would have consisted of light, single-engine aircraft typical of general aviation, such as Cessnas and Pipers.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Sarver Field. The land has been fully repurposed for agriculture, and there is no indication of any commercial or private interest in re-establishing an airport at this location. The prospect of reopening is considered nonexistent.
