Circa 2012. Analysis of historical satellite imagery indicates the heliport was active until at least 2006, fell into disuse around 2011, and was fully removed by 2015. Public property records show the residence was sold in August 2012, which is the most likely event leading to its closure.
The heliport was a private facility located on a residential estate. It was closed and dismantled following the sale of the property by the original owner who built and operated the heliport. The subsequent owners did not maintain the facility, leading to its removal.
The site of the former heliport has been completely removed. The area where the helipad and windsock were located is now a landscaped lawn, fully integrated into the yard of the private residence at 17265 W 17th Pl, Golden, CO. There are no remaining physical traces of the aviation facility.
Morton Heliport was a private-use heliport with no public or broad commercial significance. It was built to serve the resident of the property, reportedly Robert Morton. Operations were limited to the owner's personal helicopter for private business or leisure travel. The identifier 'US-11193' is a non-standard code used by third-party aviation database aggregators; the heliport was not a publicly charted facility with a standard FAA identifier.
None. There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the heliport. The land has been fully converted to residential use, and re-establishing a heliport would require the initiative of the current property owner and new local and federal regulatory approvals.
