Lowrance Airport

The specific reason for the closure is not officially documented. However, it was a small, private, unpaved airfield. The closure was most likely due to economic factors, which was common for small general aviation fields of that era. The operators, Lowrance Brothers, may have ceased their aviation business, retired, or consolidated operations at the nearby, larger Osceola Municipal Airport (K7M4).

The site of the former airport has been completely reclaimed for agricultural use. Current satellite imagery of the coordinates (35.613255, -90.018497) shows a cultivated farm field. There are no visible remnants of the runway, hangars, or any other airport infrastructure. The land is indistinguishable from the surrounding farmland.

Lowrance Airport, also known as Lowrance Field, was a private airfield primarily serving the agricultural industry of the region. It was operated by Lowrance Brothers, a well-known agricultural aviation (crop dusting) service. The airfield was first depicted on aeronautical charts in 1949 and featured a single, 2,600-foot unpaved turf runway. Its main role was to support the local farming economy by providing a base for aircraft used in crop spraying and seeding, a vital service in the Arkansas Delta. It represented a typical mid-20th century private airfield dedicated to supporting a specific local industry.

None. The site has been fully converted to private agricultural land for several decades, and all airport infrastructure has been removed. There are no known plans or prospects for the airport to be re-established.
