Beauchamp Ranch Airport

The specific reason for closure is not publicly documented. As a private airfield serving a ranch, the closure was most likely due to economic factors, a change in the ranch's ownership, the death of the owner/pilot, or a decreased need for a private airstrip for the ranch's operations. There is no evidence of closure due to a major accident or military conversion.

The airport is permanently closed and has been completely decommissioned. Current satellite imagery of the coordinates shows that the land has been fully returned to agricultural use, likely for cattle grazing or farming, which is consistent with the surrounding landscape. A faint outline of the former north/south runway is still visible from the air, but no airport infrastructure, such as hangars or markings, remains.

Beauchamp Ranch Airport was a private airfield with no major historical significance beyond its local utility. Its primary function was to support the operations of the large Beauchamp Ranch in Moore County, Texas. It featured a single unpaved, 3,500-foot north/south runway. Operations would have consisted of general aviation aircraft used for personal and business transportation by the ranch owners, and potentially agricultural aircraft for crop spraying or surveying the vast ranch lands.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the Beauchamp Ranch Airport. The land is privately owned and has been integrated back into the local agricultural economy for several decades, making any future reactivation as an airport extremely unlikely.
