The airport site has been completely redeveloped into a housing subdivision called 'Stillwater.' The runway, taxiways, and hangars have been demolished and replaced by residential homes, streets, and parks. The site's aviation history is commemorated in the street names of the new development, which include 'Runway Drive,' 'Propeller Lane,' 'Tailspin Lane,' and 'Hangar Drive.'

The airport featured a single paved runway (16/34) that was approximately 4,200 feet long. It primarily served the private pilots and aircraft owners living in the adjacent community.
