Haugen's Airport

The airport was a private-use airstrip. The closure was almost certainly due to a private decision by the landowner. Common reasons for the closure of such small, private fields include the owner ceasing flying activities, retirement, sale of the property, or the land being repurposed. In this case, the land was reclaimed for its primary agricultural use. There is no evidence of closure due to an accident, economic failure, or military conversion.

The site has been fully converted back to agricultural land. The former north-south grass or dirt runway is no longer operational and is now a cultivated farm field. While a faint outline of the runway is still visible in high-resolution satellite photos, there are no remaining aviation facilities, such as hangars, wind indicators, or markings. The adjacent farmstead appears to remain active.

Haugen's Airport was a small, private airfield, likely named after its owner. Its significance was local, serving the needs of the adjacent farm or ranch. Operations would have consisted of light, single-engine general aviation aircraft. These operations were likely for personal transportation, agricultural purposes (such as crop surveying or aerial application), or recreational flying. It represents one of the thousands of private farm strips that have supported agriculture and rural life across the United States, but it held no major commercial or public historical importance.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Haugen's Airport. Since it was a private airfield on private property, any potential reopening would be entirely at the discretion and expense of the current landowner. Given that the land has been fully reclaimed for agriculture, it is extremely unlikely that it will be converted back into an airfield.
