Keller Ranch Airport

The specific reason for closure is not officially documented. However, Keller Ranch Airport was a privately owned field, reportedly belonging to an individual named Walter Keller. The closure was most likely due to personal circumstances common for such airfields, such as the sale of the property, the owner's retirement from flying, death, or the rising cost and liability of maintaining a private airstrip. There is no evidence of military conversion, major accidents, or broader economic factors leading to its closure.

The site of the former airport has reverted to private ranch land. Satellite imagery of the coordinates shows the faint but clear outline of the former runway, which now exists as a cleared path through the Texas Hill Country brush and trees. The surface is unmaintained and not suitable for aviation. The surrounding area remains rural, with a ranch house and a small pond located northeast of the former runway's location.

Keller Ranch Airport held no major historical significance in the national aviation system. It was a small, private general aviation airstrip serving its owner and possibly invited guests. It did not support commercial, cargo, or scheduled military operations. The airfield consisted of a single unpaved, turf runway, approximately 3,000 feet long, aligned in a northwest/southeast direction. Its earliest known depiction is on a 1992 USGS topographical map, and it was listed in private aviation directories like the Jeppesen Airport Directory in the mid-1990s.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Keller Ranch Airport. As the land is privately owned and the airfield has been defunct for over a decade, its reopening is highly improbable. It would require significant investment to clear, regrade, and certify the runway, for which there is no apparent demand or intention.
